Peter Kater - Love (2015) Lossless

This is the 10 time Grammy Award nominee s first Solo Piano release in over 10 years and is possibly his most personal and intimate recording to date. It s a gener- ous offering of over 72 minutes of music all inspired by LOVE with detailed liner notes about the meaning and circumstances surrounding each song. These musical portraits of the heart em- body the many subtleties, joys, vulnerabilities, excitement, fears and deeply transformational qual- ities of our most essential and powerful emotion . . . LOVE. ~ Mysterium Music

Peter Kater has been nominated for ten Grammy Awards, and his new album LOVE shows exactly why. When it comes to composition, Kater is a master. He has an ear for melody and his music reflects that, sweeping you away in graceful fantasias that find an equal balance between wistfulness and tenderness. With this release, Kater serenades listeners with a collection of songs inspired by simple, yet expansive notion of love. The selections, which include both compositions and improvisations, are performed entirely on solo piano. These songs blossom with rich undertones and bright, cascading melody lines that really capture the beauty and essence of romance. Possibly his most personal album to date (the liner notes include full descriptions of the inspiration behind each song); LOVE is the stuff of daydreams and amorous interludes. Press play and immerse yourself in over an hour of enchanting bliss. ~ Dan C.

With some 60 recordings in a catalog that reaches back to 1983, you might presume that pianist and composer Peter Kater had already fully explored the musical panorama of love. However, with the upcoming May 5 release of his first solo piano recording in over a decade, simply titled Love, Kater demonstrates that he has much more to express when it comes to that most delicate and capricious of emotions. ~ Cary G.
