Piano Opus (Bonus Track Version)

The only word that possibly could even begin to explain the sincerity and depth in this music, would be passion. Pure passion given as a gift from God.

I was hoping for something that wasn't a re-release. Oh, but it has a few extra songs. I want more creativity like wind, fire, etc. When this came out originally, several years ago, it inspired me. It was my first exposure to piano, really. My collection encompasses so much more now, however, I would still like to see something entirely new. My tastes usually consist of Debussy, Ravel, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, etc. In that sense Crain doesn't quit fit, but he was original. I feel like I just hear too much of same style of technique in his music with the notes shifted and the melody slightly different. I loved this album when it originally came out. I've got several by this guy, but I feel they lack, as a whole, originality. They're all pretty derivative of the others, in that sense I can tell who made them, but I would love something different. Not to break a butterfly but I would recommend this to anyone without prior exposure, otherwise it's more of the same, literally and figuratively.

Well people are complaining about that clicking noise. If you haven't listened to much recorded piano music that is understandable. It is the pedal everytime he lifts and resets it that makes that sound it blends in unless you listen for it. Beautiful pieces, Rain gives such an amazing nostalgic feeling.

Beautifully written music and very well preformed "Rain" has such a poignant melody . But most if not all tracks have a clicking sound that is being picked by one of the microphones. It's too inconsistent in the timing to be a metronome, and is not a encoding artifact.
