For Pretty Pastoral Piano, we wandered a little further from the beaten path … through wildflower meadows, quiet woodland and the soft changing light of the seasons. Gentle, expressive piano sits at the heart of these graceful pieces, delicately framed by warm strings and subtle touches of orchestration. Beautiful waltzes, reflective themes and little elegant moments … captured and preserved … almost frozen in time. Romantic without becoming sentimental, nostalgic without dwelling too heavily on the past. Evocative of long summer evenings, mellow autumn days, half-remembered places and those fleeting moments that seem somehow more beautiful once they have passed … with just the slightest trace of regret beneath the surface. Pretty Pastoral Piano … warm, tender, gently cinematic.
