 Review for: "The beginning it's always difficult" by Radek Samson

This album is pure musical poetry . . .
as visual as masterpiece paintings, 
artistically created with a highly stable brush
full of all the colors of the spectrum .. .
painted with firmly controlled strokes . . . 
whether abstract or carefully defined . . . 

these musical paintings stunned and impressed me . . .  
they made my heart race and my breathing
match the momentum and tempo of the music . . . .
this artist is so highly talented
he is NOT to be missed . . . 

I saw armies marching, falling and getting up again . . .  I saw an ancient land rising and falling . . . I witnessed the garden of Eden . . . and on with more dramatic expressions, profound and beautiful . . . gorgeous waltzes full of life and sunlight . . . so many styles of music . . . so perfect . . . so delightful . . .

And my favorite on this album, though hard to chose was, "Irrationalis (2008)"  which introduced itself with sprinkles and tinkles of sound, then the flash of something in the distance and when the full storm of the orchestra rides over, like a thousand horsemen at full gallop . . . flying over my head, I nearly ducked. . .  dark clouds of fate raging before the winds . . . tremendously fulfilling . . .  profound music . . .

This music reads to me like a book . . .all of it . . . all the music on this album. "PianoConcerto, Spring 2008" sang to me like a tender lover . . .  the piano with so many emotions that the tears spilled from my eyes . . . how could I describe how such music touches my heart . . . I am speechless  with wonder!





Review for: ". . . with Piano" by Radek Samson
This album contained music more stable yet just as dramatic and emotional as the last album. The songs were modernistic classically styled . . .  beautiful up-sweeping  symphonic . . . and heart touching.  They were all delightfully composed and so dynamic with articulate asides which made listening so interesting and fascinating . . . A story was told with each song, the momentum of the music driving visions through the mind of the listener. Powerful. . . and gorgeous sound quality.
