3/23/08 Peace Revolution! - solo piano

Landon subscribes to the less is more philosophy of sparseness of
notes, but overall this is an album for those who like their solo piano
music rich and full, not stark. Engineering, by Paul Hirsch, is
excellent. The piano s clarity and presence is spot on. I detected
neither any overt brightness nor muddiness and volume was
well-modulated.

The
sprightly opening track, Camelot, ushers in the CD with a jaunty mood
and playful melody. Early on, Landon shows that he is more than capable
of playing both soft and with nuance as well as letting er rip and
spicing things up with verve and sassiness. Sundance starts off more
subdued but not overly so and also elicits a soft sensation of
nostalgia. Skye s Song transitions from its softer start to pick up a
little steam and drama in the middle, but quiets down again as the song
concludes. Ancestors presents a stately mood, almost serious if you
will, amidst a lot of the lighter fare here. Instead of being jarring,
I found the change of pace to be refreshing. This cut is followed by
another emotional mood about-face offering, Elegant Lady a song which
evokes the atmosphere of a 1930 s upscale nightclub with a hint of
torch song smolder and a dash of glitzy diamond-sequin style. Amalfi
Drive swings from low-key melancholy to breezy jazziness while the
seven minute title track is surprisingly modest in its emotional weight
with only brief peaks of drama.

The album may be a "quiet"
revolution, but it s one that should prove worthwhile "joining" for
fans of new age solo piano music, provided they are not addicted to
Winston-like minimalism, because the melodies here are seldom sparse.

PEACE REVOLUTION, 2008 - Landon Creative Inc Even though Camelot is, by
far, my favourite track from this CD, nevertheless there are eleven
other compositions that will entice you to hear more from Louis Landon.

Light
and delightful, Peace Revolution! will carry the listener to a place of
tranquility and reflection to which he or she will want to return again
and again.
