captured moods.......2002-04-25

He has captured the moods of winter into spring I think(for around the area where I live). The excitement of January when winter is new. The settling in of February and even the log cabinish mood of march is captured in the winter months. The awakening of spring with the rain. The rain brings growth which leads into the breezy meadow and the slowing of the briskness to a more steady pace. If I want to chill out I give a listen to 'Winter Into Spring'. I own the cassette tape of this album, and I'm glad I bought it.

George Wiston-An American Treasure.......2001-06-09

Though Winston is not wolrd famous, he has a rare quality that many composers lack today. He combines both lyricism and indivisuality in his compositions. As you listen to the CD, you can feel as if you were at sea during " February Sea." Winston is by far the most underrated composer in the country. People know about Gershwin and other giants like him, but they have no idea who the heck George Winston is. His music shows his passion while painting a vivid image. I have not heard anyone's music with as much lyricism and passion since the Romantic Era of Chopin.

Another classic George Winston album.......2000-08-05

What elevates George Winston's music above the level of your average new age artist and makes it more than just background noise, is the excellent ability he has to create a mood throughout an album. "Winter Into Spring" ranks with other great Winston albums like "Autumn," "December" and "Summer" in taking the listener away into an aural landscape of distinctive beauty. That he is able to do this with nothing other than his piano is simply amazing. "Winter Into Spring" is another triumph for a great artist.

Perfection.......2000-05-17

I first purchased this album in 1985 and I still play it regularly. "Winter Into Spring" and Winston's "Autumn" are masterful in their simplicity. His piano solos demonstrate clarity of thought and purpose, precision, and evidence his deeper musical knowledge and skill. Few artists no when to stop. Winston's brilliance is found both in the notes he plays and the notes he doesn't. And this work is strong start to finish with each piece tying back to another. Given the excellent recording quality, "Winter Into Spring" and her sister "Autumn" are simply perfect.

This is great stuff!!!.......1999-02-24

I live on the coast of Oregon, where winter storms are often times brutal, and when I hear "Febuary Seas" I can see the ocean and feel its savageness. I love all the music on this album, many speak to me and I can see them. I love this music!
