All music performed by Laura Sullivan: Piano (Yamaha C-7) All music composed by Laura Sullivan © 2003, excepting pieces by Roy Finch © 1999: Selling Water by the River, Sleepwalking (On a Tightrope), and In Last Hours. Claire de Lune: Claude Debussy Total Playing Time: 48:18 Song Titles: 1. Hope for the Sun 4:04 “The music on Laura Sullivan's eponymous CD of solo piano music is more somber and reflective than many piano recordings I receive for review. This is not a bad thing in the least. In fact, I think the piano is ideally suited (as an instrument) for painting melancholic musical portraits, and Ms. Sullivan sure can do just that, although, melancholic may be too severe a word to use for some of the lighter pieces here. Perhaps a better choice would be to label her songs as "introspective journeys." While there are some up-tempo numbers (such as the opener, "Hope for the Sun") many of the tracks on the album are soundtracks for late autumn walks down deserted streets or while strolling through a cathedral of barren trees. A solid debut from a promising talent... pieces rich with emotion taking risky steps away from standard "new age piano'" formula. Recommended."
