Music to Escape With.......2000-09-21

Amazing ! Loren Gold's "Reflections of Gold" is truly a unique complilation. His piano sings far deeper than "average" piano music. It is definately not your run of the mill. His melodies such as "Nancy's Waltz" take you away. Highly recommended - not to be missed !

from Solo Piano Publications.......2000-09-21

I am constantly amazed at how many really great pianist/composers there are out there.With a solo instrument, it can be difficult to develop an identifiable style that sets an artist apart from the rest. Loren Gold could be well on his way to doing just that. "Reflections of Gold" is a delight from start to finish. The piano dominates most of the cuts, but synth, sax, and flute add color and variation. One often reads the criticism that more contemporary pianists need to discover minor chords. They're here! Gentle and thoughtful throughout, this CD is no snooze. It seems to get better and deeper with each listening, although I liked it the first time, too. This is not background music - it begs to be savored! My favorite cut is "Falling", which features Richard Hardy on soprano sax. It is an elegant duet with a wistful, somewhat melancholy feel and some fancy fingerwork from Gold. "Daybreak" shimmers with a delicate melody and washes of synth strings. "Searching" is a slow, sparce piano piece that hints of George Winston's influence - it is more abstract than most of the other pieces, but is wonderful in its dark introspection. Gold isn't afraid to let those bass strings vibrate! "The Magic Mirror" is a dark, rhythmic ensemble piece (although according to the liner notes, it's all Gold on synth and piano) with a haunting melody. "Snow" and "Red Sky" are also bittersweet and very memorable. One cut, "Short Line", just about sent me through the sunroof of my car, since I live near railroad tracks. A railroad crossing bell clangs and a train whistle blows several times throughout that song, and I found it a little unnerving! Other than that, this is one of my favorite albums!

'Reflections of Gold' is PURE GOLD.......2000-09-08

I was given this CD by a friend and couldn't beleive my ears. This is not any run-of-the-mill piano music. Loren's melodies transport me into different moods and memories with every song. It is music to be inspired by, to relax with, or to simply listen to and enjoy. Even though I have listened to this CD over and over again, it plays as fresh the 10th time as it did the first. Loren is truly a gifted pianist and his songwriting skills should take him to the stratosphere. I will be the first to purchase his next release.
