Free Music Notes for December

Free Music Review: Reminds me of frosty window panes & starry winter nights....
Hit: 5 Stars

The beauty of his music cannot be captured in words, and a true piano-phile would be the only person who could understand what it feels like to be given a private concert in your own living room. When I listen to "December", I imagine myself as a child tracing pictures in the frost on the window panes and watching the flame of my mother's cinnamon-scented oil lamp cast shadows on the wall. When Mr. Winston plays, it is not one song but several simultaneously, and it's nearly impossible to imagine how one man alone can master the keys so effortlessly.

Track One, titled Thanksgiving, is my favorite. This song is soft, peaceful and reflective. Christmas season starts after the turkey is on the table on Thanksgiving Day...and everyone is so grateful to be together as a family in the safety of a loving home. You can smell the bread, taste the cranberries and feel the warmth of the oven.

Track Ten is a traditional favorite. The Holly and the Ivy is done cheerfully. It is an honorable rendition of the song, and the way Mr. Winston tickles the keys brings to life the beauty of the song.

All the songs included on the CD are beautiful & relaxing and most definitely put one in the mood for winter. Why, just listening to it as I write this, I'm ready to start crocheting a scarf beside the fireplace! Add this jewel to your Christmas treasury. For the true piano enthusiast, it is certainly a worthwhile addition to you collection as George Winston is the master of this magical, dignified instrument.
