5.0 out of 5 stars Brickman at his best, June 15, 2006

I do enjoy this CD as it has many of Jim's signature instrumentals. As the solo pieces are what drew me to Jim's music over a decade ago, the timeless "If You Believe" and " Angel Eyes" will strike a chord with longtime Brickman fans.His first song with words, "By Heart" makes it is way down memory lane here as well.

There is a new version of Jim's "Glory" on this compliation of Jim's albums.

I use this CD to mellow out. Life is too complex at times so it is refreshing to find a way to simplify it. Easy enough to do with this CD.

Over the past decade, pianist Jim Brickman has released a dozen albums for the Windham Hill label. As part of the their 30th anniversary, Windham Hill has packaged a series of PURE releases featuring the label's best known artists. The 18 tracks included here come from six of his albums, including a remake of "Glory" (performed here as a duet with David Benoit from 2002's SONGS WITHOUT WORDS II) and one previously unreleased track, the gorgeous "We Exalt Thee."

I only have two complaints. One, there is nothing from his stunning debut, NO WORDS (1994). And secondly, while they are excellent songs, the two vocals ("Amazing Grace" and "By Heart") seem out of place on an otherwise all-instrumental collection.

If you're new to the new age stylings of this gifted pianist, PURE is an excellent place to start. The perfect balm at the end of a stressful day. [Running Time - 59:57] RECOMMENDED

My wife and I simply love Jim Brickman's music. All of his CD's are great including this one. Easy-flowing and gentle piano music, with an occasional guest vocal. I don't think it is possible for this artist to make a mediocre album, much less a bad one! You rock Jim!
