"Carter Larsen's Fantasia Suite is creating a breakthrough with his 21st century Neo-Romantic approach. Larsen has embraced the summation of our classical culture in music, while exploding into another dimension of creativity", states Andréa Van de Kamp, Chairman Emeritus of the Music Center in Los Angeles.
Twenty first century composer Carter Larsen has written in excess of 50 substantial solo piano works thereby exceeding the solo piano output of most of history's greatest and most prolific composers including Mozart, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff.
With a background as a concert pianist in Europe, Larsen is also renowned for performing and conducting over 400 concerts to electrifying public and critical acclaim, including the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the London Symphony Orchestras as soloist, with television appearances and broadcasts on BBC and PBS television, and the largest FM stations. The composer's new music video "Appassionato" can be seen regularly on national cable television and PBS on the Classic Arts Showcase.
Larsen is currently scoring Martin Scorsese's new film, "Something To Believe In", directed by Bonnie Palef, featuring the Dalai Lama, as well as creating his magnum opus, Fantasia Suite; a new art form, and for many...leading the way for the future of classical music.
