Valkyrie No. 2 - played by Carlos Márquez - www.beneking.com by Stephan Beneking published on 2013-09-07T11:50:03Z The 12 Valkyries are figures from the Nordic mythology - they collect the slain heroes from the battlefield and bring them to "Valhalla", the "holy hall". Pianist Carlos Márquez (https://soundcloud.com/cmdigital) was so kind to play some of them - enjoy his breathtaking interpretations!! Eventually we will also release a Valkyrie album in the future. The whole series is devoted to Isabella, my little Valkyrie...

I warmly recommend this kind of version. Thank you for this great and usefull idea. 2013-09-12T09:54:56Z Comment by Fred Van Gestel another great composition masterly performed! 2013-09-12T05:49:11Z Comment by Carolyn Burnette very nice, Stephan :) 2013-09-11T14:41:31Z Comment by Treeburke dope 2013-09-11T14:35:54Z Comment by Maseczka powerful, incredible work, Stephan 2013-09-11T13:38:12Z Comment by Thoribass incredible play, incredible composition 2013-09-11T07:59:30Z Comment by Stephan Beneking @ninth-pulse: yes, the opening of this valkyrie is quite dramatic ... :-) 2013-09-09T17:56:54Z Comment by Declan Bell what a beautiful part this is 2013-09-09T15:23:47Z Comment by smedulla amazing, great performance!:) 2013-09-09T14:02:43Z Comment by Onyx Fields A magnificent piece...
