Albums All Around Me

Press Reviews I am a big fan of Loren Gold's music. His current CD is playing as I write this, and has been in my CD player since I got it. I find it music to write by, which is a way of saying its many moods turn me on and send me into a creative zone. I like being there. It is a wonderful experience I urge you to have.” - Harve Bennett, Golden Globe Winning Producer - Dreamworks SKG Loren Gold's debut piano CD is a finely crafted album. In fact, the album is so finely tuned it is difficult to imagine this is his first effort. Loren's attention to melody and structure betray either an exceptional gift or years of performance experience… perhaps both. Loren successfully manages to straddle the fine line between 'romantic pop ' piano music and real artistry. - David Nevue, Midnight Rain Productions The longer I write for this magazine, the more amazed I become at how many really great pianist/composers there are out there. With a solo instrument, it can be difficult to develop an identifiable style that sets an artist apart from the rest. Loren Gold could be well on his way to doing just that. One often reads the criticism that more contemporary pianists need to discover minor chords. They’re here! Gentle and thoughtful throughout, this CD is no snooze. It seems to get better and deeper with each listening, although I liked it the first time, too. This is not background music - it begs to be savored! This is one of my favorite albums. - Kathy Parsons, Wind and Wire Magazine Oh, man. GREAT disc. Congratulations to Loren on some great work. This really is great stuff. Congratulations on an outstanding CD! And a debut disc, at that! I'd advise Loren to go ahead and quit the day job. - Ken Baker, Program Director of Radio Kansas Thanks for sending the beautiful music. I am just playing it for the first time right now and I am pleased. You have a nice, delicate touch on your instrument which I like. I suppose there could be Keith Jarrett and others influence but the more I hear it the more it sounds uniquely you. Wishing you all the best with all your projects." - Don Campau, Program Director of No Pigeonholes / Lonely Whistle "Excellent collection. We are sent a ton of piano oriented collections, but yours is definitely the creme of the crop." - Ric Schmidt, Program Director of KNOM "One of the most beautiful albums I have ever heard. " - Steve Parlato, Program Director of KQEX Your music is both peaceful and flowing. There are many solo piano albums around that are what I call 'meandering' - they go nowhere and have no definite melody. Each of your pieces has its own melody and the music moves. It makes you feel and I like that. - Louise Higman, WUOT Loren Gold shows the great usefulness the piano has for him as his main vehicle for expression. The artist wishes to explain in sounds what the feelings express, and to do so he utilizes the instrument he has most available to him. This is how he succeeds in creating a series of lyric pieces of an extreme sensitivity, apt for introspection. The music invites us to reflection and to the pacification of the spirit. Although in quite parts there are piano solos, in others the piano is accompanied by several acoustic instruments. - Sarah Tomblin, Amazing Sounds
