The Deep Has Always Known Me

An Intimate Dialogue Of Love, Loss, And Solace

Label Pentatone

€29,99 EUR

Tax included.

The Deep Has Always Known Me, an album inspired by the myth of Undine – her emergence from the depths, her experience of love, and her transformation into human form. The title, an original idea by Brandon Patrick George (Flute) and Bryan Wagorn (Piano), reflects the mystery and emotional intensity at the core of the program. Developed since 2022 and rooted in one of the duo’s first post-pandemic performances, the project grew from a desire to create something meaningful after a long period of separation, centered on themes of love, loss, and solace. Romantic repertoire forms the album’s foundation, with works by Franz Schubert and Carl Reinecke exploring longing and devotion through literary narratives and nature-infused sound worlds. Music by Lili Boulanger, Florence Price, and William Grant Still expands this expressive journey with warmth, intimacy, and richness of color. United by close listening and deep musical trust, George and Wagorn shape a recording that offers reflection, connection, and quiet emotional depth.
