Close Your Eyes - Quiet, Contemplative, Peaceful .......2006-07-29

Close Your Eyes is one of the most beautiful albums of piano music I have ever heard. If you want to be put in a quiet, contemplative, peaceful mood, then look no further. This is the album for you. When you listen to Amy Lauren, the world is right. The mood in the album is even throughout. These lullabies intended to ease children gently to sleep can awaken the soul of a slumbering adult. "Drifting Starlight" is an especially beautiful song that is as memorable and moving to me as classic piano pieces by Debussy and Satie--with the romantic sweep of "Claire de Lune" and the contemplative quiet of "Gymnopédies." Highly recommended.

I would have to think that saying Amy Lauren's "Close Your Eyes" is a bit of a snooze would be a positive review! The pieces were composed as solo piano lullabies and relaxation music, and they succeed well. Gentle and soothing with no harsh edges, the music becomes slower as the album progresses. With a few exceptions, I had a hard time staying too focused on the music when listening to it actively, but it makes a lovely backdrop for quiet activities or for letting go of the cares of the day (or night!). Many of the 20 tracks are made up of sequences of flowing notes, creating a similar experience to listening to water in a fountain or a stream - hypnotic. Despite the subtleness of the music, a few of the pieces really stand out to me. One is "Calm Is the Night," which is a bit more melodic than some of the others, and a perhaps a touch bittersweet - a very lovely piece! I also especially like "Midnight Song," which also has more of a melody and a feeling of peaceful introspection. "Begin to Dream," reminds me of Wayne Gratz's gentle touch. Actually, this CD is similar to Gratz's "Sleepy Baby Suite" without the nature sounds. "Close Your Eyes" is a peaceful collection of lullabies for babies of all ages. Let the soothing sounds carry you off to Dreamland where everything is beautiful and unhurried. "Close Your Eyes" is featured on Whisperings Solo Piano Radio.

Very Relaxing!.......2004-07-12

Love this piano music! Puts our baby right to sleep. The songs are quiet and soothing. My wife and I often listen to it ourselves when relaxing after the kids have gone to sleep. Would highly recommend it to anyone!
