This review is from: Garland: The Days Run Away (Audio CD)

Peter Garland's "The Days Run Away," an interesting collection of repetitive process-oriented piano works, is a good introduction to his works. These compositions are almost Satie-like in their simplicity and directness, but still retain the ritualistic or ceremonial character that I frequently associate with Garland's music. The occasional extreme use of repetition might give some listeners pause, but the end result is beautiful. My only criticism is that some of the pieces seem a bit on the short side, needing a little extra time to fully develop in the listener's mind. Still highly recommended.

This review is from: The Days Run Away (MP3 Download)

The recording shows it's emotional depth with each listening!

At first, I thought it sounded a little too much like Satie piano music, but

with repeated listenings I don't feel that anymore. It must be so difficult

to create music that is so simple and so deep and moving! Arvo Part is the only

other composer that comes to mind. Buy this cd and listen to it over and over again!!!
