Imaginative

K.A. Bingaman | Indiana | 12/18/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Listeners will find subtle variations to haunting melodies on Mary Martin Stockdale's first CD. The composer finds her inspiration in her mountain surroundings. Although the melodies translate to the listener, he is able to find images of his own. Portraits on the Piano has a transcendental quality which is enchanting. Each of the 12 bands has its own distinctive flavor. Her classical training blends beautifully with her improvisational artistry. I anticipate Stockdale's next CD."

Perfect to write to!

"I first heard this CD at a family Christmas dinner two years ago. My sister-in-law was kind enough to give it to me as we left. I haven't stopped playing it since. As a writer, it takes a lot to get the mind into the writing mode sometimes and this recording does it everytime. I look forward to Mary Martin Stockdale's new release Trout Creek Lullaby this week as I start my second book."
