This week, Ai Pheng, our Global Marketing Manager, shares her favourite album of the week - Yiruma: The Best – Reminiscent 10th Anniversary
"‘River Flows in You’ is probably one of Yiruma’s most renown pieces, which I really enjoy. There are many more tracks in this album which are worth listening to, like Kiss the Rain, May Be, Poem+, Love Me, Reminiscent and Fairy Tale. This is one of those albums I could listen to on repeat and not get bored. I find myself coming back to it, time and time again. It is so lyrical, you could lie down and listen to it calm your soul. After a stressful and busy day, this is a good dose of relaxation. It always puts me in a good mood after listening to Yiruma.
Thinking back, playing musical instruments have never really come natural to me, so when I was made to learn to play the piano when I was little, it took a lot of effort and energy. Coming to think of it, I should thank my parents for taking me to lessons. It is when listening to such beautiful melodies like Yiruma’s that I appreciate knowing the art of playing piano. Even though I can’t say I can play well now, I know when I have the space and time, I would learn quite a few pieces from this album alone.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do."
