The emperor of smooth felt piano is back with a brand new single; of course that is Victor Birkan, and the new single is the mysterious short form narrative entitled Letter from a Stranger, where an interesting tale is told by the artist, one that poses as many questions as it does answers.

The piano performance is deep and thoughtful; one that paves an almost secretive story throughout this composition, Birkan’s presentation is shadowy in context and manifests vibrational tones of two tales as he goes, one from the stranger, and one from the receiver of the letter, in a story that weaves through its darker patterns into the uplifting narrative of a more melodic nature.

There is no doubt that Birkan is a master of his trade and this suspenseful style is the artist on familiar home territory, the gentle start to this composition builds to perfection, and fans of the composer and genre of solo piano will be enthralled by its enigmatic and stealthy musical prose.

More good news can be found for fans of Victor Birkan in as much as this is a double single, and therefore also contains an extra body of work called Just to Reach You, yet another tempting slice of smooth felt piano to encapsulate your mood and enjoyment.
