"Evocative music
that is hypnotic
and transforming"
Michael's piano artistry carries the listener
on a meditative lyrical journey that is as evocative as it is flawlessly
performed. Each composition draws us into intimate encounters of
waters washing on the shores of windswept islands, of rain gently
falling through the leaves on an autumn night and of the sparkle
of sunlight dancing on a quiet summer pond. He never overplays a
composition yet whatever visual impression this renowned musical
painter sets out to create the listener feels as if the music is
playing them. Within each note the listener also hears a longing
and with it an invitation to join with Michael in his journey -
a sense that if we can for even a brief moment have a glimpse of
the subtle wonders of the world that his music reveals, we will
also be taking a valued step in coming home to ourselves.
