Relaxing night music.......2006-07-06

David Lanz has really turned me into a new age music listener and admirer with his graceful and soaring piano pieces. I've never heard piano before that sounds like a living and breathing habitat, and since I've been playing it myself from the age of six I had an even greater appreciation for his art. As a composer he is a genius but he's just as brilliant as a performer. I can hear dark night sky and trees swaying in the wind, a bobbing brook running through a cool fir forest, a big cold orb of the silver moon shining on a grassy field and more through this music.

Nightfall is truly incredible and unforgettable and hearing it for the first time when I was around eleven, burned itself into my mind and I swear it has never left. I grew up listening to New Age music and David Lanz, Michael Jones, Spencer Brewer, Nancy Rumbel and Eric Tingstad just to name a few as their sweet melodies on piano, guitar flutes and other instruments wove a tapestry of sound and color like no other. This album might be short, but each piece brings quality that no quantity can beat and that makes it better than 2 cd sets of New Age or any other music that I got in the past, filled with pieces but not all of them are to my taste.

This album is sweet, dreamy, in places majestic and romantic and above all its filled with gorgeous melodies that make sense, and each one is a gem in my eyes. This has been in my collection for about thirteen years and I love it no matter much time passes between listening. I swear that listening to this really relaxes me, and right now as Im typing, listening to it at work, I forget that Im in a concrete jungle, and instead I feel like Im sitting in a lighthouse with a fireplace burning ( no physically possible I know but still, its cute) and I feel cozy and happy!

Nightfall..........2005-03-29

Having only recently been introduced to David Lanz's music, but having been acquainted with a diverse collection of other New Age work, my expectations were very high.

This album as a whole did not catch my breath as some other New Age albums, but three songs in particular not only caught my breath, but also blew me away - 'Leaves On The Seine', 'Nightfall', and 'Courage Of The Wind'. Personally, these songs are up there with some of the most beautiful melancholic melodies ever created.

A great tribute to piano music.

from Solo Piano Publications.......2004-05-24

"Nightfall" was David Lanz's second album. Purely solo piano, this album contains some of Lanz's classics. The album contains six tracks that range from four to ten minutes in length, giving the record a relaxed, leisurely feeling. The pieces include "Leaves on the Seine," "Courage of the Wind," Water From the Moon," and "Faces of the Forest." "Nightfall" is still available in its original form, and also as a remastered set with "Heartsounds," Lanz's debut recording on Narada.

Thought-provoking relaxation...........2003-08-28

This has been one of the most treasured recording's in my collection since my mother first bought the audio cassette way back in 1985. She used to make us listen to it in the car, although after a few years, we used to beg her to put it on. As a young pianist, Lanz's music, particularly Nightfall, was my biggest inspiration. The pieces each evoke feeling and are crafted in such a way as to encourage the imagination. As children, my sister and I used to fall asleep to Nightfall (as I still do to this day!), and she would make up stories to go along to the music.
I HIGHLY recommend this CD! :o)

A Talented Composer in his Prime.......2002-06-15

This album is one of the best Lanz's cd, and contains beautifully written solo piano pieces, that are more neo-classical and less new age. The pieces reflect the talent of Lanz that he displays again so well in Heartsounds and Cristifori's Dream, before recently and disappointingly going more commercial.
Stick with Lanz's earlier output,and Nightfall is one of the best, and you will be rewarded with rich music that expresses lots of emotions, from saddness, pain, hope and joy..and hope that Lanz would return to his roots,and forget the John Tesh/Richard Clyderman hole he, in my opinion has dug himself into recently.
