And here are some comments about the new recording. You can add your own as well.

 

This is such beautiful playing and a real gem of a recording.

 

Yesterday I sat down and listened and was touched by the beauty of your playing that I just had to stop and say---What do I hear? The answer was a singing tone that was so very beautiful---your phrasing or as I say--the shaping of the musical line--so clear to my ears and again so beautiful---there has to be a better word than beautiful but for now accept that word as my being touched to the core by your playing. I could only think---WHAT A MAGNIFICENT ARTIST---

 

I just got around to downloading your track and have enjoyed the most contemplative and heartfelt music I've heard in a very, very long time.

 

Your CDs arrived today and I started listening to them.  They're really beautiful.  The opening title selection is a lovely way to begin, simple, pure, heartfelt.  Then followed by the Sleeper's Awake! Cantata piano transcription.  I can hear all the instrumental voices transferred to the piano--very lovely indeed.  Am looking forward to the rest of the album.

 

Thanks for the CD's. They arrived safely a couple days ago.  I haven't had a chance to write to tell you how it ministered to me.  You play beautifully with such feeling and meaning.  Initially it did not seem like a Christmas CD to me because I do not know the first two Carols at all.  That did not matter to me because the well executed pieces really relaxed and blessed me. Then I was able to join in more meaningfully as the renditions progressed.  You tastefully selected your guest artists, too.  They definitely enhanced the whole presentation.  CONGRATULATIONS!!

 

Hey, can I get another CD?  My mother-in-law lent her copy to a friend, and the friend won't give it back! Said she listens to it all day while doing art projects.  So, I need another one for my mother-in-law.
