Not my thing
I see that everything this man produces gets rave reviews. But I'm just not feeling it. Sorry. This is my review and I don't get out of it what others appear to. My fifteen year old daughter will listen to this album all evening and she loves it, so does my wife. They never get tired of it. But to me, much of his music is same old same old. It's like I have been listening to the same rumbling phrases all night and they just go on and on, never changing or getting anywhere. For me Steve Reich does a much better job of this repetitive stuff. I recently saw him in concert in San Francisco, the audience loved him. I feel like some self indulgent guy with a piano amused himself for more than an hour, at my expense, while I was waiting for a pianist to come and play music instead. Not my thing.

Bellisimo...
His music is beautiful, it's mellifluous and it leaves you breathless, I highly recommend it and play it regularly for my baby girl at night before she sleeps. It's nice to hear classical music from a newly discovered (in the USA) artist. I can not pick a favorite track as they are all beautiful. The thread that connects all of them is a serenity that wraps itself around you as you listen to each piece. Enjoy!

Musical equivalent of a wonderful drive in the country.
This is real music for simply listening, or a great complement to a small, intimate dinner party. First rate.

Soothing
This is beautiful music. Very soothing and melodic. I had heard a selection of this CD on a classical music station (KDFC in the Bay Area) and was not disappointed in the other pieces. I can recommend this to music lovers of all kinds.
