Garland's music takes many of its cues from present-day minimalism: single notes characterized in simple patterns or motifs with the usual bass underscoring to give each piece depth. And that's the secret to Garland's success. In Walk in Beauty, a solo piano piece, we get a gentle series of quiet progressions that impose nothing upon the listener but the desire to follow the argument through to its end. In Sones de Flor the same noble underscoring on the piano allows the strings to float effortlessly by. This is music that never looses its charm. -- Paul Cook

Rating : - Achingly beautiful minimalism
I live in on the outskirts of the desert Southwest, in Monument, Colorado. I have made numerous excursions-pilgrimages to the unique, blasted, spiritually-drenched landscape of Southern Utah/North-Central New Mexico depicted in this entirely remarkable disc. And I have never come away with anything other then entire awe. And I can say without equivocation that the music of Peter Garland captures the geographic splendor of this magnificent desolation as nothing else can.

Minimalism, the MO of this disc, represents an entirely apposite approach to depicting the desperate glories of this stark, startling landscape. Endless azure sky; arid, mesquite-sage wilderness, dotted by buttes and mesas; no settlements for hundreds of kilometers: a wilderness, but one suffused with magic. Land of enchantment, indeed. How to capture its subtle, wayward, unharnessable glories? Live there. Learn its secrets. Drink deep of its subtle wisdom. Meditate on its eldritch beauty. And that's exactly what Peter Garland did.

Others, notably Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams, have sought to capture its magic in paint on canvas and black and white photography. Indeed, entire communities (Santa Fe and Taos) have sprung up as graphic art-testimonies to its arcane, mysterious hold on the human spirit.

Here, Peter Garland, a transplanted Easterner, lured by the indomitable magic of this landscape, has found, serendipitously, the perfect aural vehicle for its monumental splendors: The prodigious gifts of Aki Takahashi and the Abel-Steinberg-Winant Trio. Takahashi, a pianist of magnificent and exceptional gifts, imbues the spacious compositions of Garland with a yearning, Sehnsuct-filled desperation/home-longing never before encountered in music. Space and sonority constitute her tools. Peculiar affinity, her method. These combine with Garland's visionary compositions to produce music never before heard, music of the highest accomplishment, music of ravishing beauty, music of uncompromising starkness and skeletal austerity. But of soul-devastating splendor.

Think Tony Hillerman, William Least Heat Moon, Dances with Wolves, Geronimo, Dee Brown, Edward Abbey, purged of their anger, put to music, and you get a poor picture of the glorious enchantment offered up here.

One of my all-time favorite discs.
