A Review of Within Memory
Craig Urquhart
Within Memory
Heart Earth Music (2010)
Craig Urquhart continues to be one of my favorite "quiet" new age music pianists. His playing is nuanced, subtle, and oh-so-easy easy on the ears and his compositions are the epitome of conveying a lot of emotion without using a lot of notes or flashy pyrotechnics. These descriptors apply to all ten tracks on Within Memory, his eighth album. From the opening warmth and friendliness of "In The Afternoon" all the way through to the feelings of nostalgia and sad remembrance which flow through the closing title track, Urquhart holds the listener spellbound, but does so with compassion and grace, so that listening to his music is like enjoying the company of a dear friend. Within Memory is sure to be among the best solo piano offerings of 2010 come year-end.
