I have always enjoyed George Winstons piano solo's. I grew up listening to December. My parents would play it and it was always one of my favorites. Its the only reason I gave this box set 4 stars for leaving that album out. I guess he figured everyone already had that one since its his best selling. As I got older I wanted to hear his other albums and they do not disappoint. Autumn is probably the best one in the set with the song Color/Dance being one of the best I have ever heard. Woods is also fantastic. Another reason I bought this set is for the DVD. It was shot at the fantastic/historic Ryman Aud (The Grand Ole Opry) in Nashville. It is cool to see George come out very casual in blue jeans and play his solo's. He also plays slack key guitar (W Chet Atkins) and you can see that it is a thrill for him to play with one of his hero's. He also plays a Harmonica solo but he is best when he is at the piano. For some reason he talks over some of the songs on the DVD which is a little strange but he doesn't do it too much and overall you get a good sense of who and what this guy is all about. A great artist.

When I purchased this set, I thought there were 4 CDs, but there are only 3 and one DVD, which I'm sure was stated in the product description and doesn't affect my satisfaction with the product at all. George Winston is an amazing musician and I love listening to his music. The CDs have great sound quality, and the DVD is set in an aged setting, but it's just as good. It's cool to be able to see him play.

Excellent CD set that is full of stunning Winston piano music. Wouldn't think twice about buying this set.

This CD collection is wonderful. I've grown up with George Winston and love his music. If you enjoy piano music check this collection out.
