VAN GOGH by VAN ECK

The original album “A Musical Journey Into the Heart And Soul“ is a uniquely evocative CD in which you can be one with Vincent van Gogh, experiencing 12 powerfully moving moments of his life, inspired by 12 of his most riveting works of art. The LIMITED edition includes a 50 page hardcover booklet with Van Gogh artwork.

In 'Van Gogh by Van Eck', renowned international composers and performers join forces to translate Vincent’s personal story into a contemporary musical homage with van Eck actually singing "as" van Gogh, expressing the drama, passion, and turmoil of the world's best-loved artist. The paintings upon which the songs are based—including (among others) Sunflowers, Yellow House, and Wheatfield with Crows—offer a chronology of van Gogh’s remarkable life. Van Gogh by Van Eck is beautifully encased in a forty-two-page hardbound art book, including full-color pictures provided by the Van Gogh Museum.
