Whisperings - Solo Piano, Vol. 1

From MainlyPiano

     

Well folks, I may have already found my favorite CD of the year! "Whisperings Solo Piano Volume 1," a compilation of sixteen original piano solos by sixteen Whisperings Artists, is nothing short of stellar! The brainchild of pianist/composer David Nevue, Whisperings has become the #1 solo piano internet radio station, and has grown from a small handful of artists to more than two hundred pianists from all over the world. All of the tracks were recorded at Joe Bongiorno’s Piano Haven Recording Studio near Seattle, WA, on Joe’s impeccable Kawai RX-7 acoustic grand, giving a warm, consistent sound throughout the album despite the variety of artists and pianistic touches. There are no “big” or splashy pieces on this album, but there is a wonderful variety of moods and emotional expressions - from “Angel of Bliss” to “Lament,” from “Awaken the Dawn” to “A Sunset’s Promise.” All of the pieces are of such a high quality that none overshadows the rest - it’s an amazing and seamless musical journey from the first note to the last. This is one extremely high quality piano album and a must for all lovers of contemporary solo piano. I give it my very highest recommendation!
