FOGLAND
Reviews
 "Richard Carr's Fogland is a fine recording in the impressionistic
tone poem style of solo piano...It's a challenging statement from a musical individualist." - Bill Binkelman WIND AND WIRE |
| "A new kind of New Orleans piano.... he's developed "a
unique blend of classical music, jazz and pop resulting in a romantic new age piano
style." In this newest release from Carr, he explores new soundscapes for the
acoustic piano in 12 selections he composed and performed. And left alone. Sessions were
recorded in a restaurant and at Tulane, and engineers didn't edit or remix any cuts, to
preserve the spontaneity of his improvisational approach.....a new age
tapestry of solo piano. Peaceful, soothing." -Book Reader |
| "Richard Carr's tender and gentle spirit is clearly seen, felt and
heard in the unveiling of FOGLAND."
- Wayne Wong, Global Reflections, WZRU, Roanoke Springs, NC |
| "Richard Carr conveys heartfelt emotion and portrays a deep sense
of love for his instrument, the piano, in an impressive second effort."
- Helen Uphoff, Music for Groups of Two or Less, WFDD, Winston-Salem, NC |
"Last year Richard Carr burst onto the music scene with a fabulous
solo piano release, Through the Mind's Eye. Very quickly it became obvious a new and
beautiful voice for the piano had arrived. This work opened many ears to the talent of
Richard Carr. His new offering reveals additional layers of talent. Welcome to Fogland, a
masterpiece with stunning beauty and grace. If you enjoy the sound of artists like George
Winston, Raphael, Michael Jones and John Boswell, add Carr to the list.
"This is the kind of music that's equally at home in a recital, as the background to a pleasant meal, or as the soundtrack to a lazy morning spent lounging in bed or reading the paper. Fogland elasticizes such peaceful moments, creating an airtight buffer zone between that calm, contented, Sunday-morning feeling and the rest of the world." - Kevin F. Moreau, The Gambit Weekly, New Orleans
| "Richard Carr made his presence
known with his first release, Through the Mind's Eye. His second, Fogland, not only
reinforces his first achievement, but also announces that Carr is at the forefront of
piano music today!"
- Erik de Jonge, Bep's, New Orleans, LA
