Music reviews of December, Piano Solos: 20th Anniversary Edition
Music Review: George Winston is a treasure.
Rating: 5 Stars
Had to replace my old CD and this is perfect. I saw him live a couple of years ago and it was very special. The sound quality is great and for me this is perfect Winter/ Rainy day/ Good night lullaby music! He really captures the outdoors and seasons in a way that is just wonderful. Anyone who has followed Windham Hill knows what a special group they are and all the talented musicians that they have fostered over the years. Really Good Stuff!!!
Description of December, Piano Solos: 20th Anniversary Edition
December holds the distinction of single-handedly putting Windham Hill on the map and being the new age album most likely to find its way into music collections of all ilk. In spite of being relentlessly overplayed during the holidays, the solo piano recording has aged quite well. Winston shapes holiday war-horses and original compositions into a captivating contemporary statement. His spare, understated style captures the feel of the dark season, employing ample resonance to evoke a reflective spaciousness. The album's straightforward simplicity conveys both the celebration and quietude that characterize the best of the Yuletide spirit. --Richard PriceA quintessential example of George Winston's "folk piano" style, December speaks to the spirit of the season. Mixing traditional carols, a couple of classical works, and his own originals, Winston drops notes with icy clarity into a winter silence, rippling through "Carol of Bells" and coaxing dark, introspective moods from his own suite, "Night." The pianist's liner notes are also a trip as he cites the numerous sources for his music. Who would've thought that the gentle melodies of "Peace" were inspired by the soundtrack to TV's The Outer Limits? This 20th anniversary edition, which includes two bonus tracks, is a vast sonic improvement over previous releases. --John Diliberto
