Sings Shakespeare Sonnets 2

 Sings Shakespeare Sonnets II continues Caroll Vanwelden’s distinctive musical exploration of William Shakespeare’s poetry, transforming his timeless words into original contemporary jazz compositions.

As a singer, pianist and composer, Caroll delves deeper into the emotional world of the sonnets. Themes such as love, desire, doubt, beauty, separation and the passing of time are approached as universal human experiences that remain as relevant today as they were in Shakespeare’s time.

With expressive vocals, imaginative piano playing and arrangements that move between intimacy, rhythmic energy and dramatic intensity, the album brings poetry and jazz together in a natural and compelling way. The rhythm and musicality of Shakespeare’s language become the starting point for compositions filled with freedom, colour and improvisation.

All music on the album was composed by Caroll Vanwelden, giving each sonnet its own atmosphere and emotional identity. Sings Shakespeare Sonnets II further develops the personal musical world introduced on the first album.

This playlist gathers the songs from the album and invites listeners to experience Shakespeare’s poetry in a fresh and emotionally direct way.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy vocal jazz, original compositions, poetic storytelling and music that bridges literature and contemporary jazz.
