Welcome back! Today we’ll be taking a closer look at the little things when it comes to talking about living an artistic life. Now, let’s go for it!

All of the inspiration to this song came from documentary about the life of Liberace.

In fact, I never heard of him before - just the name there and then. But now I learned about the way he rose to stardom, the way he played the piano and the way all the people turned to or away from him. That was very impressive. And that is why the piano has such a leading role at the beginning and throughout this song, because after watching the documentary I ended up sitting in front of my own piano writing this song. I really did.

Enjoy this episode and you'll find the song on the album "Shadow Play" (released in June 2023) on all major online streaming and download services.

The Mountains’ Crusade. A little into the mystic again. This episode and song is surely not about knights in medieval times, of course not. It’s about today - and it’s about you. And most of all it is about what being among the mountains at dusk is able to offer to you.

Having you here with me is a pleasure and that is why we are going to talk about the future today. In most of the episodes we dealt with things that occurred in the past. Now we’re looking ahead. Just come along to find out a bit more.

The song was taken from the current album MYSTICA which you can find on any of the major streaming- and download services online.

Today  I can offer you some sort of special episode for you. That is, because we’re talking about the coming release of the the new album lying just a few days ahead and you’ll hear one of the new songs right in this episode. So, just come along and let’s step right into it. This is all about the new album MYSTICA...

This is episode 60 and it is the second part of a double feature about a classical mass I wrote for my hometown a couple of years ago. If you haven’t listened to the previous episode you can start right here, no problem. In case you should be interested in the whole project, you might listen to episode 59 first.

Markus Zosel introduces his English speaking audience to an early classical work of him: His "Mass for My Hometown" for choir and piano.

This is the first of two episodes that are dedicated to this topic. 

This recording was taken from a live performance on January 30th, 2010 by the choir "mehrKlang" from Baunatal. The concert took place inside the "Christus Erlöser Kirche" in Baunatal.

Today it’s all about a walk in the summer rain. We’re heading right to the end of August and it feels like a good time for this topic. So - grab your umbrella and let’s go…. :-) And, of course, it's much so more than just walking in the rain.
