Matteo Myderwyk’s Wintersleep (part two) is a quiet sanctuary of seasonal nostalgia. Blending a fresh original composition with six deeply intimate solo piano reworks of beloved Christmas and winter melodies, the album transforms childhood memories into an inviting, still landscape.
From Ryuichi Sakamoto’s iconic "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" to Adolphe Adam's sacred classic "O Holy Night," Myderwyk strips away festive clutter to reveal the warm, reflective core of these pieces. His reimaginings are transcendent: Vivaldi’s "Winter" is reimagined as a poetic, atmospheric meditation that captures the utter stillness of an icy landscape; Bach’s "Sacred Time" shifts from rigid counterpoint into an unhurried ambient space; and Gustav Holst’s "In the Bleak Midwinter" leans into lingering sustains that heighten the hymn's quiet solitude.
The result is a peaceful refuge where past memories and present stillness gently intertwine.
