Piano-pop instrumental music at the highest level

There probably has not understood a the concerns and the concept. And then leave on the basis of a song and its authorship poor overall, without having heard the album or even about the production or the music testify himself, is probably completely wrong. I'll try to catch up what this so-called. "Reviewer" has failed: I heard the entire album and I'm thrilled. That's Piano Pop instrumental music at the highest level. It starts with a soulful, jazzy and minimally arranged piano rendition of "Now rest all the forests" with Till Bronner as guest soloist. Next, Bruce Hornsby sends his regards, "Come, let Christ and honor" grooving easy-breezy therefore. In "You, O my soul, sing" come all their money, love the folky-acoustic lightweight Groove of Norah Jones. The only downside of the entire CD are for myself the subtle vocal Na-Na-Nas in the second half of this otherwise so perfectly arranged song (something I can now times nowhere suffer). "Get out of my heart," then sets up a gear and it comes first, the whopping, Played to the point brass section are used, the "to jump my heart Cheerful" also equal to the next track entitled makes all honor. Here is a wonderful version of "Praise the Lord, all the honor him" with sophisticated percussion Arrangement. In "Befiehl du deine Wege" the bedded on a rich organ sound piano for the first time supported by a guitar (Dobro and end electric guitar). Genial! "The güldne Sun" is one of my top picks, especially because of the beautiful Dobro Guitar. Such a wonderful slide-tone I know otherwise himself only by Jerry Douglas, the Dobro master. Perfect! With "I stand at thy cradle here" proves the production fox that you just do not have to work with any clanging bells cliché to create a solemn and contemplative atmosphere. When equally contemplative "How shall I receive you" come again next to the soulful piano the Dobro used. Before the ingenious yet peppy-furious arrangement of the chorale classic "Now thank we all our God" as a bonus track (from Falk's old production - which, incidentally, was not an artificial synth pop, but the finest West Coast fusion pop with genuine US top musicians - again all the stops are pulled with funky horns, Mega Groove and parodical Bachtrompeten- and trombone quote the midsection), Dieter Falk is the purist reduced on the wing "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded" again his soulful side (goosebumps factor!). A varied, very entertaining album. That the idea to be implemented contemporarily old Kircher song classics, is new, no one has claimed (as far as I know), and also Falk had the idea already over 15 years ago and it was already the best production of this kind. The only question is, how will they implemented. And since he himself clearly topped. By the way, the sound of the CD is excellent, but I did not expect at such a precisely operating producers anyway. Hopefully not dauerts again until a new solo album by Dieter Falk comes. And most of all I would like to see him once live with his own band z. B. in the City Garden in Cologne ...
