	Watches-Sweet Dreams - Piano Solos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Her 14 piano solos, pieces that had their origin as bedtime confections for her young children, are almost uniformly quiet, reflective, earnestly melodic, and easily digested.
		Jang perfumes her impressionistic compositions with a gentle spirit that endows them with an essence of instant familiarity; though to her credit, her musical structures convey an intelligence that elevates these pieces a notch above typical lullaby fare.
		From the opening piano notes of Montana: A Love Story, George Winston fans are sure to feel they've returned to safer ground after his last album, The Night Divides the Day, the pianist's dip into the acid rock of The Doors.

	Steven Cravis - Pianist and Composer \| Music : CD Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Many of the pieces are more classically structured than the music of other artists in the genre, and indicate a very well-trained and creative pianist-composer (he attended the prestigious Berklee School of Music).
		A beautiful series of reflective and introspective piano solos, these pieces are both intensely personal and easily accessible.
		The harmonic textures/changes of this piece are simple, the harmonies remind me of Bruce Hornsby and the Range when they were popular in the eighties.

		Stride piano came some out of the ragtime tradition of Scott Joplin and the other great ragtime composers from the early 1900s, but the tempos are much faster, there is much more improvisation, and more harmonic development.
		The solo piano dances I do, is where the piano is a one man band kind of thing which go 3 hours or more, of one long medley of RandBsongs, slow dance songs, Soul, Rock, Vince Guaraldi Peanuts pieces, and a bit of Latin, Blues, and occasional waltzes (these are not Modern Dance/Ballet piano dances).
		Fess had many inventions on the piano (as they were coined by the great New Orleans pianist and composer Allen Toussaint.) He always put his own completely unique and innovative stamp on every song he played, whether it was an original composition or a masterful interpretation of another composer’s song.

	All The Seasons Of George Winston: Piano Solos (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Winston shortened his pieces to make singles for radio air-play over the years, but it seems that these edited selections might also have been calculated to appeal to a more mainstream, pop-oriented audience.
		For pure solo piano that isn't drowned out by orchestra or diluted by vocals and other musicians, I don't think George Winston can be beat.
		All the Seasons presents 13 abridged selections from Winston's seven solo recordings-- "radio edits" that were supervised, as the liner notes indicate, by the pianist himself.

		The performance requirements in piano at Northwestern are designed to give the student an increasing familiarity and ease with the pressure of playing in public.
		A limit of three units of 555-D61 Piano may be counted toward the master's degree, although students who extend their time in residency may continue to register for D level applied lessons.
		A master's piano recital (555-D80)may take several forms: a full 60-minute solo recital; a half solo recital, half ensemble, and accompany one recital; a half solo recital and accompny two recitals.

		These pieces can be played by a cellist having fluency in first and half positions but require working knowledge of accidentals.
		Pieces like "The Swan" are arranged in an alternative key for a lower range of the cello.
		No piece contains more than two sharps or flats, and the fingerings look to be sensible, helping you to gain a better understanding of when and how to shift.

	Watches-Ravel- Piano Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Ravels piano works are, in all senses, composures of 20th century modernity, suffused with the country-stylised effects of, say, Emmylou Harris, and the impecably marked greenhouse-jubilance connecting all the pieces in one final exotic anti-frenzy makes certain implications on ones ability to hate.
		Sometimes however, with the smaller lesser known pieces such as the Minuet, you get the sense that he is sightreading, not truely feeling the music.
		Together with the 2CD set of Debussy's piano works, these two albums are master recordings of the finest impressionist piano music.

	Amazon Shop - Bartók - Piano Concertos Nos 1 & 2; Two Portraits - Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Bartok's first two piano concertos represent a radical departure from the romantic bombast of late 19th century piano concertos (that means you, Rachmaninov).
		With no obvious precedents, outside his own earlier solo piano work (like Allegro Barbaro) and, perhaps, Stravinsky's "Les Noces", Bartok radically reappraises the role of the piano in the context of a classical concerto, emphasising its percussive qualities ahead of its melodic potential.
		Bartok's mastery of counterpoint is total and to hear tiny phrases being swapped between the piano registers and throughout the orchestra is a constant jolt of excitement.

		This compact, attractive compilation of Falla's all-time favorites for piano is headed by the world-famous "Ritual Fire Dance" from the theater piece El amor brujo (Love, the sorcerer).
		Favorite shorter pieces by the great Viennese master, who was a model for both Mozart and Beethoven, include the popular "Andante with Variations in F Minor" and other charming miniatures-variation sets, airs, capriccios, minuets, the famous German Dances, and a selection of best-loved movements drawn from Haydn's ground-breaking piano sonatas.
		Complex, surprising pieces by a brilliant, underrated Russian 20th-century Romantic whose music, though similar to that of his friend Rachmaninoff, is more cerebral and harmonically adventurous.

	Amazon.com: Music: György Ligeti Edition 3: Works for Piano (Etudes, Musica Ricercata) - Pierre-Laurent Aimard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		So, if you are looking for perfection in Ligeti's piano music performances don't doubt about this CD; if you want to discover the piano of the XXth Century this could be a great door to go into, because of the music, because of the performing and because of a perfect recording and booklet.
		Piano music is the theme of this third volume of Sony's "Gyorgy Ligeti Edition", the attempt (continued by Teldec's "The Ligeti Project") to collect all of the composer's work in new performances overseen by Ligeti himself.
		He talks of his fascination with the piano, and his frustration that he learned the instrument too late in life to be a good pianist himself.

		Most of the other pieces on the set he had recorded before, either in the studio or in the two legendary recitals, and some of these (Chopin's Waltz Op.42, Nocturnes Op.15 No.2 and Op.27 No.2) are even heard in three or more different takes on this set.
		The solo pieces by Ravel, Poulenc, Faure and Chabrier sound good to me, but since I am unfamiliar with them, I do not want to pretend to be able to comment about them.
		It's the greatest performance of the piece, at least much better than Horowitz, with a breathtaking virtuosity and the coda is faster than in his DG recording.

		The electronic pieces mix the undulating and washing synthscapes of Pink Floyd or Jean-Michel Jarre with the kind of funky, clavinet-driven grooves borrowed from contemporaneous jazz-rock vocabulary.
		Le Matin Blanc is a semi-experimental piece of underground French prog that lies somewhere between middle- King Crimson and Henry Cow.
		This contrast between the fugue and the piano is indicative of the experimental thought that pervades throughout this album.

	Windham Hill Piano Sampler
		Although I tend to prefer impressionistic pieces, some of the songs in this sampler have grown on me and can be quite fun to play.
		The chosen pieces reflect the styles of each artist and can be used as a spring board to follow up each of the pianists in more detail.
		Not all pieces will appeal to all tastes, but the challenge of such variety is seductive and should provide plenty of pleasurable hours playing.

		For Emile Pandolfi, these tender and sweet pieces are indelibly associated with fond memories of his Mom and Dad who often filled their home with such music.
		Tom's percise yet casual piano stylings of these inspirational favorites, floats along as on a quiet river, gently rolling from one song to another as if they were but a single composition.

	Amazon.com: Music: Solo: Improvisations for Expanded Piano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		This is a great disc of piano improvisations by Lyle Mays and I am suprised that it is not held in higher regard (I only bought it on a whim myself).His piano playing is singularly beautiful, full of passion without being rowdy and yet as delicate as a first kiss.
		There is often a tension between what an artist's own perception of his or her work is and how that work is received by the listener.
		"Solo" taps again that rich vein that we haven't heard fully expressed since "Lyle Mays" - the beautiful, glassy piano textures, the ethereal backdrops of analog synth, the lyricism of a playing style that knows that it does not need to prove itself.

		This is the first disc in a series devoted to the complete piano music of Arnold Bax, presented in outstanding performances by the young British pianist Ashley Wass.
		Only the second British pianist in 20 years to reach the finals of the Leeds Piano Competition (in 2000), Ashley Wass was also the first British pianist ever to win the top prize at the World Piano Competition in 1997.
		Completing the programme are the Burlesque, possibly a response to what Bax had heard at the Russian Ballet; and Dream in Exile, a sumptuously elegiac piece written in February 1916 and championed by Myra Hess.

		The pianist obviously selected the pieces with which he felt the strongest identification, and he plays them lovingly, with sprightly rhythms and a rich, singing tone.
		Description: Grieg's 66 Lyric Pieces range from simple pretty tunes like the early "Arietta" that opens this disc to more extended pieces like the dashing "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen" to impressionistic miniature tone poems like the late "Summer Evening." Here, Andsnes plays 24 of them, well-chosen to cover a representative selection from the complete sets.
		Description: This certainly is a desirable compendium of some of the most famous large-scale choral pieces, primarily drawn from Deutsche Grammophon's catalog of operas and oratorios.

	Paul Wertico: SBB
		There are only two pieces on this LP, each one about 20 minutes and a good example of music played by SBB at this time.
		His father was a piano tuner, so he was able to start teaching his son music from a very early age.
		Their second "western" release was called "Welcome" and had been recorded in September 1978 in the Polish Radio and TV Studio at Opole; the remixing was done in Conny Plank's studio in October.

	Grieg - Lyric Pieces - RadioDirectory.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor is known the world over (Andsnes has made a celebrated recording) these highly expressive pieces span virtually the length of the composer's career, revealing a poetic sensibility midway between Chopin and Debussy.
		In so far as Grieg drew inspiration from his native folk music, the pieces illustrate a benign nationalism, and in the same way Andsnes carries the expectation of being a "Norwegian" artist with a refined musicality, refusing to unnecessarily romanticise what is in the main simple, lyrical music.
		Indeed, apart from the playfulness of the "March of the Trolls" and the exuberant "Homeward" and "Wedding Day at Troldhaugen", there is a wonderful impressionistic quality throughout this very satisfying recording.

	METALKINGS.COM REVIEWS FEBRUARY 2004
		An organic piece of work with excellent taste, knowledge of traditions and performance: measured harmonies, ear-caressing solo guitars, expressive rhythms, well-felt compositional plot, and a flawless combination of restrained male vocals with beautiful female singing.
		The keyboard instrumental piece is a nice bonus to this already colorful record.
		And when my speakers started oozing mind-piercing solos and the voice of Phil, shattering and disturbing as it used to be, started singing about lost love, everything fell back into place.

	DSCH 16 Shostakovich CD Reviews - Piano Concerto No. 1; Chamber Symphony
		The pessimistic mood never tips over into melodrama, yet there is plenty of power on reserve: the Jewish "dance of death" theme, recycled from Piano Trio No. 2, is screeched with wide-eyed terror, and there is deadly percussive force behind the three-note cell that heralds the fourth movement.
		Keeping the dial low is particularly important in the concerto, to avoid having the piano overpower the orchestra.
		The fine performance of the Two Pieces for Octet is icing on the cake.
