Rafael de Acha’s Music Notes blog calls Christopher Atzinger’s Piano Music of John Knowles Paine “Sheer Listening Joy” in a new review:
“Leave it to DELOS to keep surprising us with music off the beaten path! … This is by and large music written heart-on-sleeve, of a time where cares were about the honestly essential, music in which there is no agenda, no manifesto, no extra-musical baggage.
In this delightful collection pianist Christopher Atzinger plays with utmost elegance, brio when needed, gravitas when appropriate, and without a shred of condescension, there are romances, sketches, preludes, joyful ditties, even a fugue, and sad pièces d’occasion. Atzinger takes them on with bravura at his fingertips through all 65 minutes of this neatly engineered and packaged CD providing sheer listening joy.”
