Songs of the Spirit

Product Description One of Robin's best selling albums! All songs composed and performed by Robin Spielberg Recorded on a beautiful Steinway at Sear Sound, New York City A note from Robin about the recording: While on a 250-mile drive from a rehearsal last year, it began to rain. Then it began to pour. It became impossible to drive safely so I pulled over, glad to have the comfort of my radio to help me bide the time. I began to hum along to a melody I couldn't quite place, but was indeed familiar. It was warm, soothing, simple. For some reason, it brought to mind an image of a large ship sailing the ocean, bound for America. I began to think of my grandmother who had made a brave voyage to this country on a ship just like that. And as the rain continued to fall, the music filled my car with this comforting, yet triumphant music. When I looked down to see which station was playing this music, I saw, much to my amazement, that the radio was not on. I continued to hear the music for a few more seconds before it faded to silence. The rest of the drive home, I pondered this strange experience, trying to find a reasonable explanation for the radio music. And despite what my skeptic friends say, I am not entirely convinced the music came from my imagination. I think it came from some place else. When I got home, I approached the piano and recalled what I had "heard" (A Song For Jennie). Surely, this is a "song of the spirit" and like the others on this recording, it celebrates that within us that is true, simple, clear. Where words fail, there's this. -- Robin Spielberg Review Spielberg has one of the best set of hands going. Her touch is perfect, sometimes velvet, sometimes sparkling. Plenty of presence, but not forcing. Exquisite phrasing. Responsive piano, by Steinway, and crystal clear recording. Robin and piano seem to fill the living room. ...Spielberg plays a stellar collection of pieces; a few are chipper, but most express intimate emotional edges that will move memories in the listener. This is the sort of album you put on for background, but then find yourself lost in thought staring into the depths of a long-cold cup of coffee.;Late Night, the final piece, seems to go on moments after the music's stopped. --The All Music Guide Spielberg's music is graceful, elegant, quiet with an edge of passion... if you like David Lanz' solo albums, you'll most likely fall in love with this music -- Spielberg and Lanz could be musical soulmates. --NAPRA Review If you're a lover of relaxing, spirit ual piano solos a la Windham Hill artist George Winston, this is the music for you. --The Bergen Record
