Review
Spielberg has one of the best set of hands going. Her touch is perfect, sometimes velvet, sometimes sparkling. Plenty of presence, but not forcing. Exquisite phrasing. Responsive piano, by Steinway, and crystal clear recording. Robin and piano seem to fill the living room. ...Spielberg plays a stellar collection of pieces; a few are chipper, but most express intimate emotional edges that will move memories in the listener. This is the sort of album you put on for background, but then find yourself lost in thought staring into the depths of a long-cold cup of coffee.;Late Night, the final piece, seems to go on moments after the music's stopped. --The All Music Guide
Spielberg's music is graceful, elegant, quiet with an edge of passion... if you like David Lanz' solo albums, you'll most likely fall in love with this music -- Spielberg and Lanz could be musical soulmates. --NAPRA Review
If you're a lover of relaxing, spirit ual piano solos a la Windham Hill artist George Winston, this is the music for you. --The Bergen Record

Product Description
One of Robin's best selling albums! All songs composed and performed by Robin Spielberg
Recorded on a beautiful Steinway at Sear Sound, New York City
A note from Robin about the recording:
While on a 250-mile drive from a rehearsal last year, it began to rain. Then it began to pour. It became impossible to drive safely so I pulled over, glad to have the comfort of my radio to help me bide the time. I began to hum along to a melody I couldn't quite place, but was indeed familiar. It was warm, soothing, simple. For some reason, it brought to mind an image of a large ship sailing the ocean, bound for America. I began to think of my grandmother who had made a brave voyage to this country on a ship just like that. And as the rain continued to fall, the music filled my car with this comforting, yet triumphant music. When I looked down to see which station was playing this music, I saw, much to my amazement, that the radio was not on. I continued to hear the music for a few more seconds before it faded to silence. The rest of the drive home, I pondered this strange experience, trying to find a reasonable explanation for the radio music. And despite what my skeptic friends say, I am not entirely convinced the music came from my imagination. I think it came from some place else. When I got home, I approached the piano and recalled what I had "heard" (A Song For Jennie). Surely, this is a "song of the spirit" and like the others on this recording, it celebrates that within us that is true, simple, clear. Where words fail, there's this. -- Robin Spielberg

each note, chord & silent pause reaches deep inside,

This review is from: Songs of the Spirit (Audio CD)
This was a high-risk purchase. I'd never heard of the artist before. I just knew I liked piano. I'm so glad I bought it. The pieces are simple, elegant and quiet (sometimes lively, but not noisy - if you get my drift!) but I have never heard piano music played in such a beautiful manner. Robin caresses each note, chord and the silences inbetween - before you know it you are lost in your own private thoughts, dreams and memories. I can't wait to hear her play live.

Like a soothing bath for your soul,
By Zinger (West Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Songs of the Spirit (Audio CD)
This music takes you places that are warm & soft. I find myself drifting of into misty forests walking with my husband experiencing the love I only feel when I'm with him. I listen to it when I'm upset and it calms me. I play it for my very ill patients in the ICU and you can see them visable calm, it seems to ease their pain. What a wonderful gift to the world.

Strong and tender melodies...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Songs of the Spirit (Audio CD)
"Spielberg brings an emotional warmth to her music that will be apparent the minute you begin to listen to her. Yes of course, she has technical mastery of the instrument, but far more important is her ability to coax exceptional tenderness and joy from the imposing majesty of a concert grand. There is an intimate quality to Spielberg's compositions. Strong and tender melodies tug at the heartstrings into vibrating with the sweetest resonance". --New Age Retailer
