Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
The precursor to 1982's commercial breakthrough, December, George Winston's 1980 Windham Hill debut boasts all the lyrical power and poignancy of its follow-up. A simple, clear recording for solo piano, Autumn finds Winston developing simple melodic motifs with studied left-hand underpinning, on hypnotic pieces like "Woods," which moves from a brisk rhythmic figure to rubato minor-key runs. Leaving pauses and breaths in all the right places, Winston suggests the play of color and light, the comfortable melancholy, and the encroaching slow-down that characterizes the fall season. Full of memorable themes, sure pacing, and whiffs of classical grandeur, Autumn is a timeless album that belongs to the firmament of the new age canon. --James Rotondi

Superb
George Winston is great to listen to when winding down on the drive home from work. Autumn, as well as any other George Winston CD is perfect for de-stressing. LOVE IT
One of my favorite albums from George Winston. It surprised me how much I enjoyed it. Loved this Winston
I was given Winston's 'Winter' as a gift long ago, and years later, still love it. Just received 'Autumn' and it is an incredible companion on my drive to and from work each day. Each song begins with a repetition of simple notes, so hang in there - as these notes weave themselves into beautiful complex melodies, before revisiting the original notes once again. Definitely had to listen to it twice before absolutely loving it, but it is an ear-quenching favorite. great background music
I bought this for a gift and my parents have loved it. They said they listen to it over and over. I have yet to listen to it myself, but I love Winston's other albums. great buy
