Review by Amy Lotsberg Producer of Collected Sounds

Wow, gorgeous, just gorgeous. If you are a fan of instrumental piano music whether it is background for studying or a dinner party, or if you just like to play it loud, lay on the floor and chill out, this is fantastic.

In college I listened to a lot of George Winston and this reminded me of that.

The even does a version of the classic, “Pachebel’s Cannon” (which she calls “Pachebel for the Potomac”) it is a favorite of mine (ever since I saw the film “Ordinary People” and it featured that haunting melody).

“The Kettle Morain” also stands out to me.

Since I’m not really a musician I am not that well versed in theory: movements, measure, etc. So I won’t go into all that, all I know is it’s beautiful. Laura Sullivan is a talented woman and this is a lovely recording.
