It’s fascinating to know there are people who have a really good taste towards classical instrumental music nowadays. I’m not only talking about renaissance music or classical music, composed by Beethoven or Mozart, but also about music from the selected list of current artists who have given us the pleasure of enjoying their new compositions. These artists create music by blending concepts of classical music and their own modern style. On our article today, the @elrigen team wanted to make a selection of different NE (New Era) styles of music and the various artists who compose this melodies nowadays.

Traditional Instrumental NE.

This genre stands out due to its evident similarities with classical music. It’s very gratifying to listen to current compositors who write music as Johann Sebastian Bach did in his time.
These musicians also have interpreted several compositions created by previous artists who were considered legends.

Daniel Hope

His way to make music is very similar to the european styles. As a violinist, he gives to his compositions a touch of renaissance culture and his direction is based on a romantic genre. He has also interpreted pieces of Vivaldi and Mozart.

André Rieu

He plays a central role as a violinist and orchestra director in the interpretation of his musical masterpieces. The majority of his compositions have been performed with the collaboration of the “Johann Strauss Orchestra” and is widely recognised for his exceptional concerts around the world.

This composer mixes instrumental music and opera with the harmony of his saxofon creating a wonderful ambient when you hear his interpretations. His album “Ascent” from 2008 was a tremendous success even though it has been his only released work. Currently he plays for small Jazz and electronic music gigs around the world. We hope he continues his career as a compositor.

Yanni Chryssomallis

Yanni is one of the few artists who honors the instrumental contemporary genre of New Era music.
