[New Age, Piano] Bernward Koch - Discography (1992-2024) (16CD) [APE, FLAC]

Bernward Koch, born January 23, 1957, in Siegen, Germany, is a celebrated German composer, pianist, and multi-instrumentalist known for his soothing New Age music. Growing up in a small village, Koch began playing French horn at 12 in a local marching band, later switching to trumpet, bass, guitar, and drums. At 15, he started piano lessons, studying classically with a Japanese professor and at the Cologne Conservatory, while also exploring jazz, rock, and pop through seminars and bands. His eclectic influences, from Weather Report to The Beatles, shaped his melodic style.

Koch’s career took off with his debut album, Flowing (1989), which gained traction in the U.S. after “Ever Returning” was featured on AIDS-benefit compilations alongside artists like Sting and Bonnie Raitt. His second album, Laguna de la Vera (1993), topped Billboard’s New Age Chart. Known for evocative piano melodies enriched with flute (played by his wife, Christiane Böhm), guitar, and percussion (often by his brother, Christoph), Koch’s music blends classical, jazz, and ambient elements. His 2008 album, Montagnola, a solo piano improvisation dedicated to Hermann Hesse, marked a creative milestone.

With 16 albums, including Gentle Spirit (2009), Silent Star (2011), Touched by Love (2016), and Tree Tales (2022), Koch has earned accolades like the Piano Heaven Award (UK), Audiophiles Highlight Award (Germany), and a 2012 cultural prize from Wenden. His music, certified as “anti-stress” by Weber State University, is used for relaxation, meditation, and yoga. Tracks like “Touched by Love” appear on compilations with Ennio Morricone and Lang Lang. As of 2025, Koch, with 170.5K monthly Spotify listeners, continues to perform live, often with his quartet, delivering calming, melodic compositions that resonate globally.
