This composition has to be one of the most beautiful tracks ever from pianist Julia Thomsen, as the delight of the single Saranghae (Korean for I love you) flows into and across my senses, and drifts into the backwaters of my mind, images of a tender moment shared under the a shade of a fully blooming tree come to mind.

Thomsen’s skill set is in full flow here, and the orchestral backdrop within this amazing creation dances with the musical narrative, and at times almost waltzes across an ocean of emotional duality. This is magical music and birthed into this genre of piano with instrumentation, with a good deal of honesty and intelligence.

The smooth passages here are such a delight, one can only feel happiness and positivity from the tones of Thomsen’s piano, and the symphonic gestures that symbiotically match her piano structures are simply and utterly idyllic.

Saranghae by Julia Thomsen is going to touch the hearts of the listeners with the ease of a late summer afternoon in September, and after all, there can never be too many ways to say the most important three little words in existence, “I love you” can there?
