Christmas: Solo
Piano is the fourth and final installment (for now) in a new series
of DVDs Isadar has compiled with performance videos and music videos
of selections from his six (so far) solo piano albums. Most of the
music on this DVD comes from his 1999 release, In Search For the
Meaning of Christmas, but he also included Song of the Wise
Men from his upcoming O, Christmas, and Snow
from The Purple Heart. Four of the eight selections are music
videos, three of which are mostly colorful and sparkling images of
opulent rotating Christmas trees. There are also images of stained
glass windows, snow, and other symbols of the Christmas season. The
fourth video, Snow also appeared on Isadar: Solo
Piano, Vol. 3, and shows beautiful footage of snow in the trees
and what looks like a park in winter. Alternating with the music
videos are four performance videos showing Isadar playing
Bring a Torch, Song of the Wise Men,
Greensleeves (homage to Liz Story), and Star
of Wonder (We Three Kings). The performance videos were filmed
from five different angles, giving various views of Isadars
hands and face as he plays. There are also montages of overlapping
videos that are fascinating to watch and that should be a huge help
to pianists who are learning to play Isadars sheet music. This
DVD will be a treasured addition to collections of Christmas music
and videos for years to come, and is currently available rom isadar.com
& Amazon.com.
