5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding solo acoustic piano music with an edge, November 24, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Windows of Time (Audio CD)

While I can understand a previous reviewer's comments about "Windows of Time" (WOT) not sounding like "Story of i," I believe it should be judged on its own merits. It was meant to be a showcase for Moraz's talents as a solo acoustic pianist, and it does that very well. (As a matter of fact, I believe that Keyboard Magazine voted it either 1st or 2nd album of the year when it came out.) A variety of musical styles from rock to jazz to classical are incorporated in this one recording. This is not simply new age background music, but something that rewards active listening. Those who enjoyed the Moraz/Bruford album "Music for Piano and Drums" would be sure to enjoy this album.

I enjoy Moraz's electronic music as much as the next guy, but WOT is a wonderful look at another aspect of his talents.

4.0 out of 5 stars Patrick Moraz lets loose..acoustically!, September 24, 2000

Patrick Moraz, well-known for his clever synthesizer work with Yes and The Moody Blues, turns his attention to the acoustic piano for "Windows of Time". The album is taken from a series of semi-impovosational piano concerts given by Patrick in April of 1993. Patrick originally recorded 14 hours music, and this disc represents one solid hour of what he considered to be the best pieces from those sessions. Two of the pieces will already be familiar to Moraz fans, with "Kaaru" (from "Flags") and "The Best Years of Our Lives" (from "The Story of I") being revamped with full classical piano treatments. Mr. Moraz's technical skills cannot be denied, the man is simply a phenomenon on any keyboard instrument you put in front of him! On "Windows of Time" Patrick shows off both his jazz and his classical chops, not an easy blend to master! But where Patrick really comes out far ahead of other talented keyboardists is that he is also a top-notch composer. While many of these pieces were born out of sheer improv, they always sound well-structured and melodius. My music collection does not include too many "all piano" albums, but this is indeed an excellent exception!

if your expecting yes or the moody blues forget it but if you want to hear an excellent keyboardist at work it's a must. his solo work is hard to find except this newer material. timecode is my favorite so far, which i have on vinyl as well as th story of i which i thought was moraz-moraz cause i couldn't decipher the i. wasn't sure if it was an i or a 1. it is excellent also. i was hoping to find other material here such as refugee,human interface,flags,and of course timecode.i guess i'll check back later and see if anything else is released. like i said at the beginning this cd is excellent keyboard work and great background music since it isn't cluttered with words.
