Louis Philippson returns with “My Way”, a vivid continuation of his original take on the classical music. The album features 17 newly recorded tracks in a variety of instrumentations: from lush orchestral arrangements with the MDR Radio Symphony Orchestra to intimate solo piano pieces. “My Way” both includes new original compositions by Louis as well as fresh arrangements of well-known classical themes. Among the new originals are the viral hit “Beethoven Virus” for piano and orchestra, “Show Waltz” for piano and orchestra, “Supernova” for piano, soprano and orchestra, “Paulette” for piano and orchestra as well as several solo piano pieces – including a tranquil lullaby. Reimagined classics include the vivid “Dancing Bee” medley for piano and orchestra, “Cornfield Chase” for piano and small ensemble, “Vivaldi Storm” for piano and orchestra, “Hit The Road” for piano and orchestra, “Csárdás” for piano and orchestra, and “Por una Cabeza” for piano and orchestra. Also featured are calm and atmospheric new variations for solo piano based on Beethoven’s “Für Elise” as well as Mozart’s famous piano concert No. 27.

The album features the MDR Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Ben Palmer as well as special guests yet to be announced.
