Peter Calandra is a prolific musician, one whom we can always guarantee a quality product from, his style is utterly crafted, and at each and every turns one will find something they desire from within the far reaching realms of his musical creations. Ambient Tuesdays is his latest manifestation, this collection of creative compositions is sublime and brings us, the ever eager listener a special moment in musical time, a touch of keyboard and piano magic, rolled into the warm bed of an orchestral backdrop, a veritable soundtrack for life itself.

From the first composition we are musical moved and gathered up in an arrangement that has a wonderful sense of energy within, and this lush creation is our title header Ambient Tuesday.

From this scene setting offering we fall into the arms of a creative piano caress with the track New Renaissance, this would be one of my personal favourites off the album.

Calandra is a truly inventive composer of really intelligent offerings, like the almost mystical Desert Skies, or the soft and filled with love opus of Quiet Romance, a track that kisses the sun goodnight before bed.

Peter Calandra’s artistic endeavours on Ambient Tuesdays is lovingly manifested for us by the hand of a true genius, you only have to listen to pieces like the ending offering Matriarch Suite-Postlude to see why, this is a track that could cross a multitude of genres with its symphonic gestures, its crafted keyboards and its beautiful arrangement.

Calandra has once again visited the well of musical mastery and come up trumps, his class filled collection, and all eleven tracks of this wonderfully fluent and deeply felt album, is without doubt one of the best releases of the year thus far, and Ambient Tuesdays is indeed something that every lover of really good music should have in their collections at all costs.
