Award-winning composer Julia Thomsen once again enchants listeners with the release of the piano version of her beloved piece, “Journey Through The Seasons”, now available on all major streaming platforms as part of “Piano Whispers 01,” a special compilation celebrating Piano Day 2025.
Originally unveiled in October 2023, the original version of Journey Through The Seasons garnered acclaim for its tender, nature-infused melody and evocative storytelling. With this new piano-led rendition, Thomsen strips the piece back to its purest form, allowing the emotional core of the composition to shine even brighter. It’s a version that feels both introspective and expansive, capturing the subtle ebb and flow of the seasons with grace and depth.
Released via the Barcelona-based label ad21, Piano Whispers 01 brings together 51 pianists from around the world in a stunning showcase of neoclassical artistry. Amid this global tapestry of reflective, piano-driven pieces, Julia’s track stands out as a moment of serene beauty. Her delicate touch and expressive phrasing breathe new life into the composition, adding a layer of intimacy that invites listeners to pause and reflect.
True to its name, the piece glides through the motions of nature — from the blooming optimism of spring to the quiet introspection of winter — delivering a sonic journey that feels both timeless and timely. Thomsen’s gift for crafting lush, cinematic soundscapes remains front and centre, reaffirming her place as one of the genre’s most emotive voices.
