About Brian

Brian was born in Hollywood, California. He has been composing music as long as he can remember. Family members tell him that when he was very young he began whistling nearly all the time. When someone would ask what he was whistling, Brian would usually answer something like, "I don't know. I just made it up."

He was only six years old when his parents bought a baby grand piano, thinking that Brian's musical talents could use a more polished medium. But Brian continued to whistle his songs. He was not drawn to the keyboard. When he was ten years old, Brian began taking piano lessons, but he soon became bored with the lessons. Besides, the piano took time away from his new passion, baseball. So he gave up the piano. His need to compose, however, would not be stopped. His friends would often hear him whistling his newest compositions during practice or games on the baseball diamond. At this young age, Brian was dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player while whistling his own songs.

Brian would occasionally sit down at that nearly forgotten piano. He would improvise at the keyboard, just as he had always improvised with his whistling, playing with the notes until something started sounding just right. He was, without realizing it, teaching himself to play the piano.

Also without intending to do it, Brian was training himself to compose at the piano. By his early twenties, he was composing songs for award-winning children's films. He was also still nurturing his dream of playing professional baseball, but after unsuccessful tryouts with professional teams, he sadly let that dream slip away.

It was during this time that his family suggested he record his personal piano works and release them on CD. He had never seriously considered recording for CD release, but when he recorded the first album, it was so well received that he started spending all his time composing and recording his own works. Now he jokes that the best thing that ever happened to him was not becoming a professional baseball player.

Many of Brian's compositions are used in movies and television commercials all of the world and in 2005 Brian composed his first two symphonies, entitled Spring Symphonies, which were recorded with the Czech Philharmonic Chamber Orchestra. Two of his newest albums "Piano Opus" and "Piano and Light" experiment with odd timings and minimalist concepts. Brian has also achieved great success with his two duet albums "Piano and Cello Duet" and "Piano and Violin Duet".

Thousands of piano, violin and cello players perform Brian's compositions all over the world.

Brian Crain出生在加利福尼亚好莱坞，10岁开始学钢琴，但不久就对钢琴练习产生厌倦。19岁时，为了完成第一部采用旋转磁头数码录音的好莱坞全本电影，他建立了一个录音工作室。在这个期间，Brian Crain偶尔会坐到被遗忘很久的钢琴前，他会即兴演奏一段，正象他以前用口哨即兴演奏一样，直到这些音符听起来很好听为止。不知不觉中，他就这样自学了钢琴。现在，Brian Crain已经售出了数十万张唱片。有人在形容听到Brian Crain 演奏的钢琴曲子后有这样的感觉：“就好像漫天轻柔雪花在舞蹈，它们来自天堂，纯洁无瑕的笼罩着周围的世界。”而听他的音乐给我有种冲动想喝杯咖啡，放下所有的事，静静的在音乐的抚慰下旋转和跳跃……从苏醒到盛开、从风的流动到光影挪移，美国钢琴家布莱恩?克莱恩 （Brain Crain）巧妙地将春天之美化成朵朵音韵。虽然首度和52人捷克室内乐团合作，但在“世界最美丽的弦乐”衬托下，整张专辑漫流着一股暖煦如春风的明亮情绪，不论是Andante Affettuoso略带潮湿的愉悦氛围，Adagio Con Amore里精致细腻的动人话语，或是Largo Maestoso中的自在摇曳，布莱恩将时序变幻的稍纵即逝用琴音细细收藏，只要我们闭上眼睛、让心沉静，就能感受花开绽放的芬芳香气…这辑是冬天的旋律，音乐显得很冷、很静。 --转自网络
