Five decades on since his untimely demise, Nick Drake‘s music carries on enchanting mere mortals and musicians alike, and British pianist and composer Demian Dorelli fell under its charms long time ago – to such an extent where he feels compelled to cover the folk legends albums in their entirety, even though not in the original running order. Starting with “Pink Moon, A Journey On Piano” in 2021, Demian has just issued “Five Leaves Left: Echoes On Solo Piano” to link back to Nick’s first platter.
Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left:
Echoes On Solo Piano
Laid down at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios, in The Wood Room that’s perfect for acoustic piano, Dorelli – who dwells in Cambridge, where Drake wrote most of his debut longplay – created a touching instrumental tribute to the much-loved classics.
