Dawn

by Ola Gjeilo

Overview

The music of composer Ola Gjeilo straddles the line between classical music and New Age. Listeners coming from Ludovico Einaudi on the classical side will be quite comfortable with Gjeilo, as will devotees of George Winston and the pianists he spawned. Gjeilo has written music in various genres; this time, it is just the composer and his piano. Gjeilo is a trained composer, and perhaps the larger canvases of his album Voices, Piano, Strings serve him better; some will find the unchanging tempos and textures of Dawn a bit monotonous, but others may value the pure meditative quality Gjeilo achieves here. One's reactions to this album will probably depend largely on one's basic feeling about the genre involved, but Gjeilo executes it well, and he gets excellent engineering support from Decca, working at Menuhin Hall in the U.K. ~ James Manheim
