Geroge Winston: December - 20th Anniversary Edition with Extra Tracks
EAC RIP | FLAC CUE LOG | 193 MB | NO COVER
Christmas | 1 CD | Label: RCA Victor | Release Date: 2006 | RAR 1% Recovery | RS.com | FF.com

December holds the distinction of single-handedly putting Windham Hill on the map and being the new age album most likely to find its way into music collections of all ilk. In spite of being relentlessly overplayed during the holidays, the solo piano recording has aged quite well. Winston shapes holiday war-horses and original compositions into a captivating contemporary statement. His spare, understated style captures the feel of the dark season, employing ample resonance to evoke a reflective spaciousness. The album's straightforward simplicity conveys both the celebration and quietude that characterize the best of the Yuletide spirit.


A quintessential example of George Winston's "folk piano" style, December speaks to the spirit of the season. Mixing traditional carols, a couple of classical works, and his own originals, Winston drops notes with icy clarity into a winter silence, rippling through "Carol of Bells" and coaxing dark, introspective moods from his own suite, "Night." The pianist's liner notes are also a trip as he cites the numerous sources for his music. Who would've thought that the gentle melodies of "Peace" were inspired by the soundtrack to TV's The Outer Limits? This 20th anniversary edition, which includes two bonus tracks, is a vast sonic improvement over previous releases.

I still remember listening to this CD when a friend of mine gave it to me as a present. Windham Hills was practically an unknown label at the time and the New Age landscape was nowhere as big as it is now. But I was surprised how absorbing and tranquil the music was. I'm somewhat embarrassed to admit that I now have all of George Winston CDs. :)
