Unexpected Mastery.......2004-09-27

Listening to albums from either end of a musician's career when 'good' has somehow changed into 'great' is something like time travel. You find that things that seemed less important initially have grown and developed and that the music maker has reached a level you never originally anticipated. I have always liked Wayne Gratz, whose Reminiscence has always been a favorite contemplative album of mine. But that album, which was very dependent on effect and accompaniment barely foreshadows what has happened in A Place Without Noise.

In this album Gratz has moves right into center stage. What accompaniment there is plays a Spartan role, and this entire album owes its presence to Gratz's skill, not the artificial drama of effects. The result is brilliant. Gratz reveals a muscularity and sense of rhythm that captures attention and keeps it focused. Reminiscense was an album to read by or watch out the window with - A Place Without Noise demands that you listen, and then rewards you for the attention.

It's hard to pick out a favorite. 'Birds in Flight' is usually the first piece that makes me sit up and take notice, but from that point on I remain a keenly attentive and happy listener. Something that Gratz has figured out how to reach touches something resonant in me with a musicality that is harmonious, heartfelt, and interesting. Highly recommended.

What a treasure!.......2003-12-08

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!

Perfect for Massage.......2003-11-06

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.

Another great effort by Wayne Gratz.......2002-05-11

As he's done the last 3 CD's, this one is perfect! Beautiful and warm all over, this is a perfect CD for a crazy world.
