专辑介绍

Although Canada's Stephan Moccio has been writing songs for a very impressive list of superstars for years, &Exposure& is his debut as a solo artist. Moccio's passionate and evocative composing and playing styles are accessible and easy to understand, but deepen and reveal new things with each listen. I fully expect &Exposure& to be on my favorite CDs list for the year. The twenty-two original piano solos came from a desire to capture a snapshot of the composer's life so far, and Moccio says he &needed to return to the simplicity of the instrument I know best.& Lucky us, as listeners! I listen to a LOT of piano CDs, and this one has captivated me. The accompanying booklet with photos and brief poems about each piece makes this a most impressive package. Moccio's music is very classical at times and more ambient at others, combining his classical and pop music backgrounds to appeal to a broad audience while keeping his unique musical voice. I loved &Exposure& the first time I heard it, and seems to get even better the more I listen to it.

&Exposure& begins with &October,& a piece about passion, enlightenment, and the rebirth of direction. Flowing and dreamy, this is a gorgeous way for Moccio to introduce himself. (A video of Moccio playing &October& is available for viewing on MySpace and YouTube.) One of my favorite tracks is &Ow,& an almost wrenching piece about pain and sadness. The emotional power conveyed with a minimum number of notes is stunning. &Ow& segues into &Zephyr,& which brings us out of despair with a feeling of hope. &Porcelain& is delicate and fragile, referring to the innocence of a mother and child sleeping face to face. &Mojo& is another dark, somber bit of soul-searching that flows into &David's Whisper,& an anthem that lightens the mood considerably. Ν& is a very poignant piece about feeling alone and misunderstood. Another favorite is &Sirens,& with its bittersweet melody on the right hand and an energetic, flowing rhythm on the left. What a great piece! &Hudson& has a gentle flow, and reflects on life as well as the beauty of the river. &Seven& concludes this outstanding collection with a warm, tender piece about the wonder of birth.

&Exposure& is an auspicious debut by Stephan Moccio, and is hopefully only the beginning of an outstanding career as a solo artist. I give &Exposure& my highest recommendation!
