Search - Richard Nanes :: Nocturnes of the Celestial Seas - Piano Solos

Superior pianist, inferior composer

"Throughout the recording, all we hear is the melody in one hand and arpeggios in the other hand. A competent composer would provide more variety.



The recording sounds like an improvisation, and I suspect that that is what it is.

Works for solo piano

"Who is Richard Nanes anyway? Where did he come from? These works for solo piano are lyrical and melodic, evocative and introspective, haunting and beautiful. Highly recommended."

Bravo

"A great tribute to the heavens in all their glory, the ethereal beauty of the great beyond is reflected in these most richly harmonic and lyrical solo piano works in classical abstract. Depth of passion and whimsical lightness balanced in solid form to respect tradition for what it is. Richard Nanes is at home with two of history's dearest pianistic, predecessors, Chopin and Beethoven in this stylistic motif."
