The first pre-reviews of my new CD are coming in:
"25 years after the glory days of the solo piano genre sparked by artists like Keith Jarrett and George Winston, the solo piano album remains an elusive undertaking: very easy to do - very hard to do well.
Swiss pianist RALPH ZURMÜHLE is one of those rare artists, who does it sublimely well, with great sensitivity to touch, melody, and ambience. Listen and you will find yourself in the hands of a master." Stephen Hill, Hearts of Space
"An equinox occurs twice a year, but a solo piano album like this, one filled with so much emotion, can touch your heart and play in your mind forever." Liz Doan, Music Design

Several compositions from my CDs "Our Mother" and "Communion" have been included again in a recent national (USA) broadcast of one of HEARTS OF SPACE's radio programs:
"Today, 25 years after the glory days of the solo piano genre sparked by artists like KEITH JARRETT and GEORGE WINSTON, mastering the solo piano or the piano plus simple duets and trios, remains an elusive goal: very easy to do, very hard to do well.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space we combine the bell-like clarity of the piano with the simple lyricism of fine music, on a program featuring Swiss pianist RALPH ZURMÜHLE called KEYS OF GLASS 3."
