5 out of 5 stars An Outstanding Mary Beth Carlson Collection!!!.......2006-07-21

"Signature" is a perfect title of this Mary Beth Carlson CD. It is a collection of her music that displays the distinct personality which has made her music popular with so many. It is a combination of music from her previous CD's, several brand new arrangements, and two original compositions created especially for this CD. This is the CD I enjoy giving to someone who may new to the music of Mary Beth Carlson as it is a terrific collection of her very best music.

There are so many great numbers on this CD that it is most difficult to comment on only a few of the selections. I especially love the arrangement of "My Heart Will Go On / Hymn to the Sea". The choral background adds something special to the music of Mary Beth's piano. I recently had the opportunity to be listening to this piece as I flew high over the Grand Canyon. I truly felt it was music of the angels as I listened to it and enjoyed the beauty of the earth below me.

"Morning Has Broken" has always been a favorite of mine. Mary Beth's arrangement of the piece is outstanding!!! It's is one of my favorite of all of Mary Beth's recordings. I love to listen to this piece as a new day is dawning as it inspires me to look forward to the opportunities and joys that a new day will bring to me.

Another arrangement which is simply outstanding is "Let There Peace on Earth / Dona Nobis Pacem". It begins very quietly with only a few piano keys being played. As Mary Beth plays, her music brings you a quiet feeling of peace and lifts your spirits as the number reaches an uplifting conclusion. I had an opportunity to enjoy a Mary Beth Carlson concert in person. She closed the concert with this number and it is a memory I will always remember.

"How Great Thou Art" is one of the new pieces for this CD. It has always been a favorite of mine. Once again, Mary Beth brings her signature sound to the piece making it sound new. She has a magical touch with her arrangements.

Other favorites of mine on the CD are "The Sound of Music / Edelweiss", "Largo / Ode to Joy" (a wonderful duet with Jim Brickman), "Feather Theme" (from "Forrest Gump"), and Mary Beth's original composition of "Music of My Heart".

Many times I've used the "Signature" CD as a gift for a special person in my life. Time and time again, the person comes back to me with a warm thank you for the gift and for having introduced them to the beautiful artistry of Mary Beth Carlson's music.

5 out of 5 stars A style all her own...the music of Mary Beth..........2001-04-19

I've been a fan of Mary Beth's music from her very first recording; "Once in a Lifetime". Ten CD's later I'm still sold. Unlike many other solo pianists, Mary Beth not only arranges most of her own music, she is also a gifted writer and has penned some of the most alluring melodies I have ever heard. One such melody is the lush arrangement of her own "Thinking of You" on her newest album; "Signature". Equally stellar is the "Largo/Ode to Joy" piano duet with Jim Brickman; one of my favorite recording artists from Windham Hill. Both artists shine on this perfectly blended medley of two timeless pieces of music. Having had the pleasure to personally meet Mary Beth at many of her concerts, I can tell you that she is a truly beautiful person inside and out. I recommend Mary Beth's music to all of my friends...you will too!
