The best David Lanz Album with Solo Piano January 7, 2008
This is David Lanz at his Best! Most of David's previous solo piano releases were in the so-called "water phase"- calm and sweetly melancholic. You can hear these in his albums- Heartsounds, Nightfall, Return to the Heart, Sacred Road Revisited, and A Cup of Moonlight. This time, it is the fiery David Lanz delivering music that awakens but soothes the soul. David music truly touches the inner core of ones being. Pieces are mostly in fast tempo, some tempestous, but still bringing on the David Lanz touch. Only very few album makes my tear drop- and this is one of them.

"Skyline Firedance" is my all-time favorite David Lanz recording. A double-album, one CD contains ten piano solos, and the second CD is contains the same pieces with full orchestration. Many of these songs are much more up-tempo than David's previous and later releases, and several are among his very best. Titles include "Dark Horse," "Dancing on the (Berlin) Wall," and "Vesuvius." It also includes "The Crane," which David composed for the 1990 Goodwill Games in Seattle, and his beloved arrangement of "Nights In White Satin." Most of these songs are also in "The David Lanz Collection" book of piano solos - my favorite book for teaching my students.

David Lanz's "Skyline Firedance" double CD is an excellent purchase. Lanz is accompanied by the IFS Philharmonic Orchestra of Munich on the first disc, and goes solo with his piano on the second.The music couldn't really be more different than his previous releases. There is tremendous energy in the music, and Lanz combines melodic beauty with amazing piano technique..... a rare combination indeed. It says something about Lanz's talent that his solo-piano version of the tracks played by an orchestra on disc 1 more than hold their own. Indeed, many might argue the solo piano disc 2 surpasses the first disc. There are many highlights on this CD. One can only sit back and admire Lanz's technique on the opening track "Vesuvius". What energy here! "Dark Horse" is another favourite, plus Track 7 "Prelude to the Dance". I'm not quite sure about "Nights in White Satin"- there's no disputing it's beautifully played, but it seems a little out of place here. The disc closes with a gorgeous track entitled "The Crane". This is peaceful and soothing. Super value for money, this disc is highly recommended.
Artist Best-Of, Orchestrated February 5, 2002

This album qualifies as one of Lanz's "Best Of." It contains both fully orchestrated and solo works, and they are both absolutely fantastic. After hearing the full orchestra, one might wonder how the solo piano could hope to compare, and it does with amazement. Lanz is truly gifted. I would like to see more orchestrated works from this artist, they are just as superb as his solo enchantments.

Very rich in music, fully orchestrated and full of energy. I highly recommend this album for everyone who loves New Age music and to all those who like Classical Music. David took it to another level on this one. I myself like New Age artists that incorporate Orchestra to their music and that is why I loved this album. If you like this album, I recommend you to explore Yanni, Secret Garden, Giovanni and Bernward Koch.
