I just adore this recording and had to post this after reading the horrid review found here. It doesn't seem the person who wrote it is for real----he refers to the pianist as a MAN and it is obvious from the COVER of the album that Robin is a woman. Also, he says the arrangements are 'primarily' piano. They are ALL solo piano. I think this review is a spam of some sort. Anyway, if you like standards and showtunes, this is a beautifully executed album. My preference, however, is to Robin Spielberg's original pieces on her other recordings.

In the busy hustle of life this is like a cool flowing stream of loving melodies, one after another. Heartwarming, soothing to the soul. A kindness I give to myself when I'm out in the busy traffic of life. Very healing music.

This CD is full of relaxing, melodious music. Tunes familar, but not trite -- mellow, but not quiet. Just the thing to stir your thoughts, soothe your nerves or set a good mood at dinner.

i have many solo piano cds and am always looking for more to add to my colletion. when i discovered this cd i thouhgt that it looked very interesting. when i bought it and played it a few times i thought this isn't going to work. the songs selected were well known songs for the most part but Robin did not add very good arrangements to these gems. i only liked 5 out of 14 tracks listed. what a shame to waste these beautiful songs on poor arrangemtns.

Listening to these songs is like sitting in a hotel bar and listening to some really bad piano player destroy wonderful songs with truely tasteless vamping. Absolutely awful arrangements. Several of the songs were primarly piano solos and there was nothing wrong with the original arrangement but he couldn't leave well enough alone.
