“Such Dreams” is Rick Seaton’s follow-up to 2003’s “Ivory Angels.” This time out, all of the music is comprised of very impressive original piano solos that tell stories and express feelings and emotions. Most of the songs are fairly light and optimistic. . . A classically trained artist who has earned two degrees in music, Seaton’s compositions have the authority and confidence of someone who really knows what he’s doing and the ease of someone who is accomplished enough to be able to express whatever he wants without any technical difficulties. There are strong classical influences in Seaton’s music, but it is fresh, accessible, and contemporary, satisfying the more astute listener as well as someone who just wants to have some beautiful piano music in the background. From the cover artwork of “The Twelve Apostles,” a collection of natural limestone stacks off the shores of Australia, to the amazing closing track, this is an exceptional CD! “Such Dreams” is excellent from start to finish! Recommended!
