If you've ever listened to a good musician playing around with interpretation there is the line between it and irrelevance. Er, um. Someone should have told him.

Wow. For about the first ten seconds of this song, I was 8 years old again. They used the beginning for the intro to some TV show when I was a kid in the 60s-70s. Million Dollar Movie or something. I haven't heard it in 30 years. Gave me major goosebumps! Bill, you keep freaking me out with the stuff you dredge up from my childhood!

Yep. Although this is nice, Vince totally owns it. Covers aren't necessary. |

Criticism is not my usual post, but I've always found George Winston (along with many of the Windham Hill signings) bland... a bit lame really. It's nice, but nice is... well... only nice! |

How does a beautiful, haunting, masterpiece of a song like this get a 6.5? This is such a 10 in my book.

Charlie Brown meets Montovani. Or is it Satie? God, I'm confused.

That plunking at the end is horrid and drops the overall quality of the song quite a bit.

George Winston is great, but this tune is shades of Richard Clayderman! :-)

I'm with you, especially in the cases of Jarret, Haydn & Rachmaninoff.  |
