5.0 out of 5 stars
from Solo Piano Publications,
By Kathy Parsons (Florence, OR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Season Traditions (Audio CD)
"Season Traditions" isn't a new album this year, but it's new to me, and it's one of the most beautiful holiday albums I've heard. I just discovered George Skaroulis and his music earlier this year, and it's been such a delightful discovery! This solo piano collection of thirteen Christmas and New Year's songs includes two originals, "The Gathering" and "Coming Home," as well as "Greek New Year Song," all played with warmth and a wonderful depth of emotion. George Skaroulis brings such a fresh and honest approach to everything he does, and whether the music is original or composed by someone else, he has a marvelous ability to make it his own. An example is "O Tannenbaum," which is a song most of my younger piano students want to play since it is easy and repetitive. It's one of the first carols I get tired of during the holiday season, but somehow Skaroulis has made it new and beautiful again. One of my favorite tracks is "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." It's one of my favorite carols anyway, but this arrangement is hauntingly gorgeous. Some of the chord and rhythm changes are unexpected, taking the piece in new directions. I'm always amazed at how open "Carol of the Bells" is to a huge variety of approaches. This one is pensive, very rubato, and a bit haunting. "Silent Night" has a lot of open space, suggesting a quiet peace and perhaps stars twinkling in the sky and reflecting in a new layer of snow. Every track is a gem, played with George Skaroulis' elegant and reflective style. Other titles include "What Child Is This?" "We Three Kings," "The First Noel," and "Angels We Have Heard On High." Very highly recommended!

A soothing Holiday work of art!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Season Traditions (Audio CD)
This New Age Christmas CD, "Season Traditions", is very soothing and moving. It simply flows! You may think that you do not like solo piano, however, this creative, uniquely beautiful, CD will move and inspire you and it is certainly for all ages. It certainly is not "just another Christamas CD". Obviously, George Skaroulis has an abundance of natural talent - very gifted! It is a superb holiday CD that can be listened to throughout the year - I've been playing it over and over and it certainly deserves five stars. His last song of a "Greek New Year" is really original and a nice touch. This has been my first experience with George Skaroulis' music and I intend to purchase more of his CD's!

One of my favorite Holiday CDs for myself and for gifts,

This review is from: Season Traditions (Audio CD)
I purchased my first copy of Season Traditions in the late 90's and it has remained one of my personal favorite holiday CDs. It is a must to have it my car; my blood presure and stress level always drops while listening to it while driving. It has been great gifts for friends, family and co-workers. The arrangements are timeless.
