REVIEWS (From The Winnipeg Free Press -June 30, 2001 - James Manishen, ) "Canadian piano alive, well on Reiser album" "This feels like a stimulating album even before you put it on: A thoughtfully chosen program, intelligent notes and lovely booklet art. Then Allen Reiser starts his work and the expectation is nicely fulfilled." "Reiser is a young Calgary pianist with a head, heart and facility of honest and high accomplishment. Under his command, the 10 pieces on display would well convince any outsider that Canadian piano music is fertile ground for discovery." (From The Canadian Music Teacher - Winter Edition, 2001 - Susan deBurgh, reviewer) "A Canadian Piano Album - Allen Reiser, pianist" "Allen Reiser's recent CD release "A Canadian Piano Album" is a welcome addition to the resources that performers and teachers can draw upon for inspiration and guidance." "Reiser's glittering rendition of "V": Valse Chromatique...is delivered with charm and panache." "Reiser ably projects the driving rhythmical outer movements of the Pepin (Trois Pieces Pour la Legende Doree) but he also creates subtle shadings in the middle movement which many pianists would miss." "The Jaque (Deuxieme Suite) gives Reiser a chance to display a kaleidoscope of tone colours and remarkably adept pedal effects." "Veteran piano teachers will be grateful for a convincing performance of "Strangeness of Heart" by Harry Somers and after hearing the delightful "Ballerina" by Robert Fleming, will be making plans to teach this neglected intermediate level gem." "Reiser's thorough preparation extends to the unusually interesting program notes: They include biographies of the composers, background information on the selections, and illuminating quotes from the composers themselves.... The integrity of Allen Reiser's playing shines throughout each performance on this CD. Bravo. (From APTA News & Views - Fall, 2002 - Dale Wheeler, reviewer) "CD Corner" "A Canadian piano Album provides a welcome addition to the piano teacher's library...a cornucopia of works by some of Canada's most renowned composers... If for no other reason, the album is worth owning just for the copious liner notes which Mr. Reiser provides." "Canadian content and pedagogical considerations aside, this album is worthy of recommendation simply because it contains superb piano playing. Allen brings to each interpretation a conviction and clarity that only comes from the experience of teaching and performing the works. Comparing various recordings of these pieces....I had listened to every other version (of the Morel Études), including recordings by André Laplante and Mario Bernardi, and found that it was Allen Reiser's traversal which, for me, captures the essence of the work." "Many otherwise fine recordings are marred by poor sonics. Such is not the case here. The engineer did an excellent job of capturing the Steinway in Mount Royal College's Wright Theatre. The ambience of the hall is nicely balanced with the richness and immediacy of the piano's tone."

"An academic plus which makes this CD a "must have" is Reiser's witty editorial comments, historical and otherwise, found inside the case. The biographical data on the composers are well researched and a pleasure to read." "Allen Reiser delivers this "moodful" and imaginative music with fresh insight, elegance, and style - each work and every movement is an aural delight. It is a classic listening resource for the discerning pianist." (From APTA News & Views - Fall issue XVII No. 5, 2009 - Dale Wheeler, reviewer) "CD Review" "Allen Reiser has given us another wonderful recording. His latest offering is entitled Sonatinas and Little Sonatas." "Before I discuss specifics, I must say that this CD has given me one of the rare 'Aha, yes, that's exactly right' listening moments in my life." "There is something to be said for directness and simplicity. He 'just plays' these gems .... wonderfully." "Illuminating liner notes in English and French are a must-read for anyone teaching or performing these works" https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1589822714044-O8N11Q0C4YRTP5Z3QTNZ/Sonatinas+and+Little+Sonatas.jpg Sonatinas and Little Sonatas Album Tracks and Reviews https://www.allenreiser.com/sound-bytes daily 0.75 2020-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1590587491933-BWFU7PNHEEOEOYCTQSL5/unnamed.jpg Sound Bytes https://www.allenreiser.com/compositions-arrangements daily 0.75 2020-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1590588265632-SBP1R89E4FC80R3RAMUG/avalentinesdaydream+%281%29.jpg Compositions + Arrangements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1590588266679-GQDEH0DE3H3DFEVCF0GK/Jingle+Bells+-+front.jpg Compositions + Arrangements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1590588272741-YZ8U58HLIHK44W5CR4DZ/Silent+Night+-+front.jpg Compositions + Arrangements https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/1590588284165-C7XV1WSMSPX6HEZYSRBC/spookystuff.jpg Compositions + Arrangements https://www.allenreiser.com/september-like-murray-perahia daily 0.75 2023-09-11 https://www.allenreiser.com/new-page daily 0.75 2023-09-10 https://www.allenreiser.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2024-09-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/7209ca42-8d7c-4adc-9c51-4ea58750397a/www.allenreiser.com-scores-burlesque-in-G-major-edited.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb8a309d76c927daeab9ead/89fe2b62-2761-4981-87de-ee412087ff66/www.allenreiser.com-scores-burlesque-in-G-major-edited-original.jpg
