CD Reviews

"Old and Lost Rivers" by Picker will even make the strongest

JOHN P. HANSSEN | ventura, CA USA | 10/03/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Caught "Old and Lost Rivers" the other day for the first time on the radio and I immediately fell in love with the piece. I went ahead and picked up this CD this weekend and, it was even more moving than the first time I heard "Old and Lost Rivers" the other day on the radio. I cannot get over how little we've heard of Tobias Picker! If he cranked out more like this, he could have easily been the next Copeland. At any rate, even the most stout hearted person will give way to tears at the touching, yet uplifting melody of "Rivers". I guess what made it even more touching was the fact that lately I have been trying to reach out to this girl in Montreal who has HIV and was emotionally negleted and possibly sexually abused when growing up. Thinking of this, along with listening to the tear-jerking melody of "Rivers", I'm not to proud to admit that I cried a whole lot of "old and lost rivers". It has to be the most saddening piece I have heard next to Samuel Barber's "Adagio". Anyway, I highly recommend this CD to anyone with an ear for touching, yet inspiring music. Well worth your time and money."
