Piano for Relaxation

by Gerhard Oppitz

Overview

Piano for Relaxation collects Gerhard Oppitz's renditions of soothing classical piano pieces by Chopin, Faure, Brahms, and others. Ravel's "Pavane por une Infante Defunte," Mendelssohn's "Spring Song (From Song Without Words, Op. 62)," and Liszt's "Consolation No. 3: Consolation No. 5" are some of the highlights of this gentle but engaging album. ~ Heather Phares
