New rave review from smother .net
Great review from Spirituality and Health Magazine
- by Benjamin Ivry,
A deeply tranquil portrait
The new piano solo album by Michigan-born Craig Urquhart will please fans of best-selling New Age pianists like Jim Brickman. With solid classical credentials, including a five-year stint as musical assistant to the eminent composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, Mr. Urquhart walks in streams but his eyes are on the stars. "The Astronomer," a deeply tranquil portrait in sound of the evening sky, envelops and comforts us. Mr. Urquhart explains that "nature is what gives us music." Leonard Bernstein once accurately praised Mr. Urquhart's music for its "deceptive simplicity and honesty," calling it "genuinely moving with a private beauty of its own."

WALT WHITMAN SONGS RECEIVE GREAT REVIEW
Michael Slattery, tenor and Todd Almond, piano performed recently performed my Walt Whitman songs and here is what the reviewer had to say!
"In the midst of all this were short gems by Craig Urquhart.... Urquhart's settings of Walt Whitman poetry were conservative but original, faithful to the texts and appropriate for a singer of Slattery's talent."November 8, 2002---Joseph Dalton, Times Union, Albany, NY
