About the album

Desire is captured perfectly on Yuri Honing's new album of the same title. The eight tracks on this album reflect eight different feelings of desire. Some pieces are about pain, some are hopeful and dreamy, and others are more resigned or even peaceful.
Renowned for mixing styles, Honing again explores his musical boundaries with moving melodies framed by pop, classical music and early music compositional techniques. The track Lasciate Mi Morire (Let me die) is even a literal reference to the beloved madrigal of Claudio Monteverdi dating from 1614.

Verlangen - auf seinem neuen Album mit dem gleichen Titel fängt Yuri Honing diese Emotion auf acht Tracks ein, die immer wieder neue Facetten dieser Emotion spiegeln. Manche handeln von Schmerz, manche sind hoffnungsvoll und verträumt, manche resigniert oder gar friedlich. Bekannt für seinen Stilmix erkundet Honing abermals seine musikalischen Grenzen mit bewegenden Melodien, gerahmt mit Kompositionstechniken aus Pop, Klassik und Alter Musik, mit denen er in Lasciate Mi Morire sogar wörtlich Verbindung zu Monteverdis beliebtem Madrigal aufnimmt. Jetzt können Fans und Sammler dieses gefühlvolle, bewegende Album auch auf Vinyl genießen.
