My Secret Heart: Romantic Meditations for Ambient Piano
by Michael Whalen —
Whalen returns to the piano for an intensely personal collection of melodies inspired by true love.
He artfully captures the many facets of the emotion and physical bond with his gentle phrasing and lovingly-crafted melodies.
With the obvious musical influences of Harold Budd and Brian Eno, Sakamoto, Mark Isham and John Barry, this is a perfect accompaniment for quiet contemplation and relaxation.
