"It is fair to say I was really excited about receiving Michael Gettel's latest CD; the beauty of his piano playing on his earlier title "San Juan Suite" impressed me beyond words. "Disappointed" is an understatement as the disc played through.The words "just ordinary" spring to mind. None of the compositions reached out and grabbed me, each track came and went with no so much as an ounce of excitement. What has happened to this man's melodic gift?
Technically, the CD is fine, with the tracks being split evenly between Gettel and his wife.
No magic here."
