DREAM CLOUDS

After two highly-acclaimed duo releases by pianist/composer Iris Litchfield and guitarist/composer Tom Salvatori, Iris Litchfield has released "Dream Clouds," her first full-length solo piano CD - and what a joy it is! The fourteen original compositions have a very strong classical influence, but they also have the easy, graceful flow of the best "new age" piano music. A retired math teacher in England, Litchfield has been composing music for about twelve years, although she has been playing the piano since she was five. Salvatori Productions is again the producer of this album, and the sound quality is perfect. Recorded on a Steinway A (6'2") grand, the piano has a warmth that beautifully conveys all of the nuances and subtleties of Litchfield's lovely compositions.

The title, "Dream Clouds," very accurately describes the overall mood of this album - light, gentle, and optimistic. It's not musical "fluff" by any means, but spending some time with Litchfield's music will definitely elevate your mood and calm your spirit. I really love Iris Litchfield's two collaborations with Tom Salvatori, but I really like that this album is just Iris at the piano. It gives us more of a chance to really hear her music and to enjoy the soothing atmosphere she creates with her compositions. Very highly recommended!
