The Naked Piano, Vol. II

I came across The Naked Piano by accident. It is wonderful music. Just right...not too much...not too little. My wife even listens to it while she works out.

While there's no shortage of "new age" solo piano, there's something about Girouard's music that's hard to describe (i'm still going to try). It's intelligent without being overwhelming; substantive without being heavy-handed. Every gentle composition has a beautiful, thoughtful arc to it. I mention this because so many pieces in this genre are like cotton candy for the mind. They start; they're over and you never left, and you hardly notice.These compositions are at once new yet comfortably familiar and stand extremely well to multiple listenings. There's tenderness and great beauty in every song -- and work together like a perfect massage... relaxing, stimulating and thoroughly enjoyable.He has two albums as well as a Christmas edition. They are all equally brilliant in their concept and execution. Enjoy. He's the most famous pianist you haven't heard of -- YET!

I love this CD It calms me down. In the evening I sit by the pool wth a glass of wine and watch the sun set listing to this cd...
