He told me a few years ago that when he moved from Seattle to a quieter area in Washington State, it was with the idea of slowing down and possibly retiring, but since that time, Lanz has produced some of his very best music. The title track begins the CD in Lanz’s very distinctive style - graceful and elegant with his velvet touch on the piano keys. “Spanish Blue” is more improvised and is stunningly beautiful. Very, very slow and hushed, its color palette is dark and rich. “The Enchantment” is one of my favorites. The opening theme is a minor key waltz that is woven in and out of the piece. The second theme has more of a soul-searching kind of feeling, going deep within - gorgeous! I think my favorite track is “Her Solitude,” which is very spare but so poignant and emotional. Interesting and unusual chords as well as the use of deep bass notes on the piano make this a really compelling piece. David Lanz has always enjoyed interpreting some of his favorite songs from the 1960’s, and this time he has included his take on Pete Seeger’s “Turn, Turn, Turn,“ a huge hit for The Byrds - a great arrangement! The three-part “Sanctuary Rose” is also exceptional. “Evening Song” is quietly reflective and still, melodic yet free. “Midnight Reverie” is also a favorite. A little livelier and more spirited than most of the other tracks, it is colored with a tinge of mystery. “Daybreak Flower” slowly opens and unfolds with grace and beauty. The closing track, “Sleeping Dove,” is an arrangement of a Native American lullaby - gentle and oh so peaceful. What a great album! 专辑曲目: 01. Painting the Sun 02. Spanish Blue 03. Enchantment 04.
