Virtuoso Never Dies

GEORGE & G RETURNS AFTER 19 YEARS WITH “VIRTUOSO NEVER DIES”  

A New Pop Album Fusing Chopin’s Legacy with Modern LA Sound – Out Now in Japan

Warsaw / Stockholm / Los Angeles — Swedish-Polish artist George Grunwald, known to millions of fans worldwide as George & G, is back. 

His highly anticipated new album “VIRTUOSO NEVER DIES” was released on July 15th in Japan via P-VINE Records tower.jp.

It’s more than a comeback. It’s a musical statement.

From “So Much to Say” to “Virtuoso Never Dies”  
19 years have passed since George & G’s debut album “So Much to Say”. That record still spins on radio stations around the world — and even onboard Japan Airlines (JAL) flights.  
Now, with a devoted fanbase across Europe, Asia and beyond, George & G returns with 8 brand-new, original English-language tracks.

Chopin Reimagined  
The heart of VIRTUOSO NEVER DIES is a bold artistic gesture: previously unreleased vocal fragments of Fryderyk Chopin’s music, reimagined in English and woven into a modern pop soundscape.  
The result is a fresh, emotional medley that introduces Chopin’s genius to a new, global audience — not just as classical heritage, but as a living, breathing part of contemporary music.

“This album is both a surprise for my fans and a tribute to Chopin lovers,” says George Grunwald. “By blending his timeless melodies with today’s pop sensibility, we hope to create something that can live on radio playlists worldwide — a timeless hit born from virtuosity and modern energy.”

Recorded with Legends in LA, Copenhagen, Warsaw & Stockholm  
To bring this vision to life, George assembled an extraordinary team of musicians.  

The album was recorded with top Los Angeles studio musicians known from work with the biggest names in music:

•  Bill Champlin – Chicago, Sons of Champlin  
•  Jason Scheff – Chicago  
•  Tamara Champlin

•  Vail Johnson – Kenny G  
•  John Robinson – Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Lionel Richie, Aretha Franklin, Barbra Streisand, Seal, Rod Stewart

The project was also shaped by acclaimed European artists: Polish producer Aleksander Woźniak, Swedish composer and vocalist Göran Edman, guitarist Håkan Mjornheim, Danish world-class producer and arranger Oli Poulsen, and the angelic voice and lyricist Lena Anderssen, plus Line Gronker and Linda Andrew’s on backing vocals.
