Music reviews of Night Airs

Music Review: Depends on the mood
Rating: 3 Stars

The mood is nocturnal hence the title, but it's a quiet night all round. The piano is gentle and pensive, and for me the tracks sound better in isolation than played together all the way through which indicates that the music does become repetitive. I find myself wishing for a few more changes in key or tempo, but I guess the purpose of this album is to retain the mood rather than disturbing it, so I won't call that a criticism.

If you're after some mood piano that you want to listen to while doing something else or getting away from the traumas of the week, this is probably for you. If you're hoping for Wakeman synthesizing a la Six Wives, don't bother. If you want a stronger offering from Wakeman's classical piano repertoire, then buy Heritage Suite instead.
