Like a warm breeze off the Mediterranean, the music of Paz del Castillo is a breath of fresh air in the world of solo piano recordings. Like the heat of the sun on your skin lingering into the evening, her music warms the spirit. Born and raised in Spain, she still lives there near the sea drawing inspiration and influences from the people and places around her. And her extensive training in the field of classical music is a definite help in her composing and performing.
Her fourth album has arrived (it is titled NOW) and it solidifies her position as one of the major rising talents in the arenas that include neo-classical, new age and contemporary instrumental music. There is nothing very fast on this recording, so prepare to take some deep breaths and just slow down and enjoy the music as it leads you gently along. Energetic or uptempo is not what this is about. These are slow, melodic, lovely tunes that do not float aimlessly but have a distinct beginning, middle and ending. This is classy music with roots in the past, but definite modern leanings. There is nothing weird or strange or avant garde, just smooth, silky, delectable compositions played by del Castillo on acoustic grand piano with no accompaniment. It is so pure and clean and forthright that you may find this matches many of your moods whether a small dinner party, an intimate encounter, or a bit of personal relaxing time. Do yourself a favor and search this music out online and sample it. You will want the full meal.
