It's my Way to Paradise

Recordings: 2004–2010, Release: 2014/2024

One day I had the dream to produce a CD with my own music. Deep inside I knew what the music should be - something pure and for me absolutely perfect. I started a long and sometimes troublesome journey.

On the way I met many wonderful people but others just disappeared. From time to time I felt very lonely and I lost everything that was mine or of some importance to me. Again and again I even had to stop playing the piano. So I experienced the most painful and the happiest moments of my life. Then as a surprise I found something that I had not particularly strived for: love.

My journey went on for 16 years and then I held the dream in my hands I once had had. It was the CD: "It's my way to paradise". Sometimes we yearn for something but fate says it is not meant for us there and then. Sometimes we don't know where and when our way will start or end. But everything we do for love, gratitude or joy will be eternal.

It's my way to paradise should encourage all that seek to go their own way inspired and full of power.

Press Statement

Bach, Grieg, Schuhmann oder Liszt stecken in Michael Hüters Pianistik, vielleicht sogar auch ein Bluesfeeling. Die CD enthält Aufnahmen von 2004 - 2010 und zählt sicherlich zu einer der schönsten Soloklavierveröffentlichungen seit langem.
Konzentrierte, stimmungsvolle, abwechslungsreiche, wunderbare Klaviermusik für feine Ohren!
