Customer Rating:      Summary: JUST What I needed Comment: I just love this album and am disappointed to learn that Helen has no others to offer.
I am using this to stay focused as I work. It's so beautiful, and calming that I can work for many hours without distress.
I am rested. Thank you, Helen.
Customer Rating:      Summary: i like very much Comment: i liked very mucu the Jane Long's music and intend to by another cds.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Ethereal music on Earth Comment: Heklen Jane Long is an outstanding composer and performer. Her music is ethereal without being too spacey. It is very uplifting, making me want to cry it is so beautiful in places. The pieces are arranged well, with nice segues into each other. I also have Einaudi and I would say to compare, she is definitely more "lovely", you can tell the composer is female if you know what I mean, not as heavy handed as Einaudi, but definitely in his league. There are beautiful violin, viola and cello instruments accompanying her piano and so you have a beautiful arrangement altogether, not just piano. I play this music all the time and never tire of it. I highly recommend this CD! You wont be sorry.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Fantastic Music! a very worthwhile purchase. Comment: There is good piano music, and then there is Helen's hauntingly beautiful work! If you have any interest in piano music at all, this should be on your list of things to purchase. I recommend that you pick up this album, at the very least it's great for concentration, musing, study and romance (heh heh! ;) ).
Customer Rating:      Summary: Sublime and soothing Comment: I'm a huge fan of another great pianist, Ludovico Einaudi, who also creates haunting, memorable and soothing music. I found Porcelain through a link of his albums. I ordered this album from the tiny soundbites that amazon offers and am NOT disappointed. I had outgrown George Winston's piano music years ago; it just began jarring on my nerves. Not so this album: it's fluid, not repetative, or boring. I enjoy listening to this both as background but also purposefully listening to it at night, by candlelight. I only wish she had more albums to buy. Highly recommend.
