Soothing and Refreshing
Like the sweet aroma of Grandma's apple pie, Tillman's music subtly flows into the nooks and crannies of our conscious awareness without demanding our deliberate attention. The purity of Tillman's music is like a relaxing massage of our souls. GREAT WORK!

Love it
I absolutely love this CD. Have other Tillman as well, he is a master.

A wonderful CD from the talented Martin Tillman
I love this CD! Those who may be familiar with Martin Tillman from his CDs with Michael Hoppe, The Poet and Afterglow, won't be disappointed with this CD of piano and cello music. Since first hearing him in 1997 on Hoppe's The Poet, I have been waiting for Tillman to record his own CD of cello music. Tillman, a classically trained cellist, plays both piano and cello on this multitrack CD. The CD features, with the exception of one piece, Tillman's own compositions, and these are varied and interesting. Some are deep and brooding, as in Eileen, while others, bassalino and tangobay, are up-beat with latin rhythms. The piece, bachwards has a Bachian/jazz feel to it, with piano plucked cello and snare drum. My own favorite is white oleander, a very haunting piano and cello duet. Tillman's fine solo piano work is featured in, is it me or the moon passing. The piece february in mazuria was written while on a visit to his wife's native Poland and has a very classical feel to it. Tillman's own liner notes give us insight into his musical journey from Zurich to Los Angelus. If you are looking for some cello music that is not classical, yet is soulfully brings out the qualities of this most wonderful stringed instrument, then this CD is worth buying. Very highly recommended.
