This is the perfect music for a holiday meal, decorating the tree, wrapping gifts, or just settling down with a cup of hot cocoa (or a glass of wine!) and letting things “be” for an hour or so. Designed to be a peaceful and soothing collection, there is no bravado or pianistic flashiness, just beautiful, sensitively-played Christmas music coming from a diverse group of pianists playing favorites from the heart. Instead, it is unified by the use of one excellent piano, creating a smoothly-flowing listening experience rather than a hodge-podge. (Two of the songs are brand-new and haven’t been released previously.) That might not sound like a big deal, but it is - pianos vary tremendously in tone, brightness, and expressiveness, so if all of the tracks were recorded on different pianos, there would be a change from piece to piece.
What keeps this from being a “normal” compilation with one track from each artist’s Christmas album is that all of the music was recorded at Piano Haven Studio in Sedona, AZ on Joe Bongiorno’s Shigeru Kawai SK7L acoustic grand, making the sound quality of the piano consistent from song to song. Christmas Whisperings 2 is the second album produced by (a Whisperings Solo Piano Radio partner site) featuring fifteen independent artists from around the country who are part of the Whisperings Solo Piano Radio group.
