Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0828766986327 Format: Enhanced, Special Edition Label: RCA Manufacturer: RCA MPN: 69863 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: RCA Release Date: August 30, 2005 Studio: RCA Editorial Review: Amazon.com: George Winston has the unique ability to play bright, uplifting, yet stingingly melancholy piano, and Summer is one of the best examples of his fine work around. Somewhere between the ambient-style tone poems of Winter into Spring and the melodious charm of Autumn, Summer dances brightly, evoking images of relaxing under a tree or children playing in a field.

In short, this is another album of what Winston does best--underscoring the poetic moments of life through poignant, beautiful music. --Karen Karleski Average Rating:

In comparison to Winston's earlier and more present work, I think this is the one record in his catalogue that evoke the most personal feelings. And as in all of the seasonably ...

I can say with certainty that this is his best work. 'Summer' truly captures the many moods and feelings of the season, from the fun and frivolity reflected in 'Living in the Country' and 'Corrina, Corrina' to the quite, reflective moments in pieces like 'Loreta and Desiree's Bouquet, Pt. 2' and 'Living Without You.' And every time I hear 'Early Morning Range', I want to find a cool, shady ... Read More |
