Product Description
From Amazon.com
An affecting pianist-composer long deserving of broader recognition, Wayne Gratz continues to specialize in stately, reflective expressions of the soul. His are earnest yet understated works that will speak eloquently to listeners who favor the impressionistic reveries of early Windham Hill and Narada recordings. Not as complex as Liz Story (though he's willing to venture into minor keys) and less pop-conscious than Jim Brickman, Gratz could be fairly described musically as a distant cousin of George Winston. Both find inspiration in nature, and both can silence a room with the wordless acumen of their searching, emotionally rich compositions. Gratz exhibits a slightly stronger romantic streak, here yielding several standout tracks: "Birds in Flight," "Center," "Willows," "Any Color but Blue," and "Whisper to Me"--all solo piano works with occasional faint accompaniment from synthesizer and cello. As on past recordings, Gratz sometimes tends to let pieces stall or simply peter out rather than reach a resolution ("Clouds," "Dreams"), but this is a tolerable flaw. A Place Without Noise is, as the title suggests, a solid choice to augment your quiet moments. --Terry Wood

What a treasure!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Place Without Noise (Audio CD)
This CD is a treasure! I originally purchased this CD because the title is a pun on our family conversation about when we're tired of listening to heavily programmed music, then we want a "place without noise". I wanted something to play when we felt that way and it has proven to be 100% dependable. Probably 30% of what we listen to is piano: classical, jazz and "new age". This is different, more free than classical, not as overwhelming as classical & jazz, not as minamalist as Takemitsu, lighter than "new age" Winston or "unclassifiable" Bjorstad. It is focused, precise and gentle; it is not staged, it evokes a free spirit. It is a treasure!

This review is from: A Place Without Noise (Audio CD)
This is a CD of beautiful, clear, inspired piano solos. I'm a massage therapist & use it frequently during sessions. What I look for in my music is beauty & peace combined. This CD is perfect for relaxation of any kind.
