Music reviews of Remembrance-A Memorial BenefitMusic Review: somewhat disappointing Rating: 4 Stars
I was a bit disappointed as there was too little piano and too much other. The music was beautiful, just not what I expected.
Description of Remembrance-A Memorial BenefitRecorded in September 2001, originally as a benefit for those affected by 9/11, and all proceeds now benefit Feeding America. Few albums recorded in the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks are as poignant as George Winston's EP, Remembrance. A benefit album, Remembrance reflects a loss of both life and innocence. Solo piano tracks "Lament" and "Remembrance" are pensive works with Winston playing open-ended melodies over simple, mournful chord structures. Winston also plays three acoustic guitar tunes, a rarity on his CDs. The most surprising track is an eight-minute solo harmonica medley that culminates in "America/My Country 'Tis of Thee/Taps." Winston gets a tortured sound in one of his most emotionally conflicted performances. Remembrance doesn't just serve a good cause, it also serves good music. --John Diliberto
