Great Music to Work By January 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
For working, driving or reducing stress, this collection of piano songs is one of the best I have enjoyed.
A collection of some of the best January 9, 2007 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Another chance to hear a compilation of some of the best Windham Hill pianists. Wonderful as always to hear Liz Story and a chance to add to my collection of her music the track 'The Sounding Joy'. With its cheerful precision it will lift your spirits on the most grey of days. Another excellent track on this compilation is 'For the Asking' by John R Burr - there is just not enough of his piano playing available
Fine sampler January 4, 2007 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I own two other Windham Hill samplers (Touch [Guitar] and Windows [Piano]), as well as some of their artists' individual recordings. This is easily the best of the piano samplers I've heard. The title led me to believe these were going to be romantic, slower-speed songs, but in fact they are upbeat and pleasantly bright--much more so than "Windows".
As with other Windham Hill samplers, I think you'll be surprised at how much the individual artists shine in their own rights: these pieces will not all blend together. Before long you'll notice that you can identify the artists by style and not just by remembering melodies.
My favorite piece on the album is Jim Brickman's "Jesu," an improvisation on the Bach chorale on "Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring." It is a perfect example of Windham Hill's lighthearted, slightly jazzy, but always respectful music.
