Piano Opus (Bonus Track Version) Brian Crain

I love every song in this album. It takes me away to a mysterious, dreamy place...

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.

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.
