5.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully imagined, technically proficient tour-de-force, November 22, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: My Foolish Heart (Audio CD)

Ms. Story's selection of material showcases her ability to plumb the emotional depths of a song and the technical facility with which she goes about her task. This collection of repertoire sets a standard against which other pop pianists must measure their arrangements and their interpretations. Never settling for the commonplace, Ms. Story continually finds imaginative, creative and musically sophisticated ways to reinterpret these generally familiar tunes. This is a collection that can be listened to repeatedly and always offers new rewards. Put a log on the fire, pour some wine, embrace someone you love and enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A antidote for bad essays, June 28, 2011

This review is from: My Foolish Heart (Audio CD)

Don't know much about music (also don't know much about the french I took), but I think the "wrong notes" referred to in one review are actually classy music stuff like diminished 5ths and augmented 7ths and other things I wish I knew more about. When I am in a philosophic mode I rant on about how she creates harmonic beauty out of dissonance, but mostly I just wallow in the sound.

I love this CD (as well as the Liz Story CD she cut with Joel De Bartelo). I always played it when I was correcting papers ... it added at least 5 points to every paper I read. In a way this is just like calming a cranky baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful piano playing of standards!, October 26, 2007

I'd likely give this CD a 4* rating but feel the need to 'counteract' the absolutely ridiculous 1* rating of one of the reviewers, who couldn't believe his eyes (doubt that he has any EARS!) - this is an enjoyable mellow piano album of standards - not really jazz playing, but the kind of mood one might desire in a lounge late @ night w/ someone special (after a great dinner), and sipping on a nice drink, like champagne - if that is the mood you like, then this disc is quite enjoyable!
