CD Reviews

A Pleasant Surprise

S. Reimers | 04/16/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have to say the opposite of the last review. I found this CD to be absolutely delightful. Music aesthetics are, of course, subjective in nature and sometimes what a listener expects to hear does not always meet their expectations. Perhaps the other fellow was expecting a disc of a more Romantic nature.

I found this recording to be quite beautiful. It does have a simplistic feel to it but I believe that that was the composers intention since some of it was written for his children, as noted in the program notes. The simplicity only adds to the beauty of the pieces. I think that both pianists did an excellent job of delivering a masterful performance."
