This album is brilliant on two levels. The songs are each fine compositions for piano, using varied spacing, tempo changes, and melodies to create fine pieces of music. On a more accessible level, each song is rich and beautiful to hear time and again. Particulary “Toulouse”, which gives me chills every time I hear the opening melody. ~Ama_zon
