There is always something so delightful about a David Lanz release no matter what is happening in the world, hearing David’s music assures you that everything is going to be alright. It’s classic David Lanz new-age piano, it’s one of those treats from the finest pianist in the business today, and how does he do it, because he just keeps on getting better with every year that passes, and with every musical gift to us ever eager listeners.

Carousel follows, hot on the heels of another new favourite of mine called La Fontana, also a sublime piece of piano craftsmanship, and also doing remarkably well in the charts and capturing a monthly award at One World Music Radio, so what for Carousel, the piece itself starts with a high register piano and then develops further with a heavy pedal sustain, that in turn creates space and atmosphere for us lucky listeners to swim within.

One can feel the exciting movement of the subject matter with ease, one can feel the energy through the tone and timbre of the Lanz experience, as he builds emotion, gradually rather than abruptly, as the spin of the Carousel increases, it’s so palpable it’s thrilling, and masterfully performed.

After listening to this new offering from the master of new age piano, I can honestly only come to one conclusion, and that is we are witnessing a halcyon moment of musical history, a slow build to further greatness and musical prestige, as Carousel by David Lanz has destiny written all over it, and those words read, number one and award winner in plain bold letters, this is one you really don’t want to miss out on.
