This review is from: Encores 2 (Audio CD)

I'm not a musician, so can't comment knowledgeably about Ms. Johnson's talent. I'm also unfamiliar with several of these pieces, but can say that all but a few left me unimpressed. I did like Howard Blake's "Walking in the Air," which is what prompted me to order this CD after hearing it on KUHF here in Houston. Johnson's renditions of "Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child" and the Satie "Gymnopedie" variations are quite listenable, as well. The rest just don't seem to be to my taste in music.
