Snowstorm Romance

My favorite time of life
is when I am safely dreaming
whether sleeping or awake
and music like this puts me there:

I follow the notes of the piano
like stair steps to the unknown
created in heavenly grace
and filled with ease.. .. ..
endowed with love and expectations
I rise higher and higher
until I realize
I have wings.

and I am loosed to fly
in freedom and contentment
and I dream . . .

Lena Selyanina's exquisite, refined, fine, passionate playing of her brilliant compositions... her music moves me in deep and deeply imaginal ways - in my heart and in the ways that open vistas of our imaginations.

I'm on my way to Pushkin's story, but first, Lena, to say how beautiful these pieces are, in their tender delicate strength, your fingers caressing and racing over the keyboard, and to thank you for sharing.

Later... what a great story! And by the end, I was laughing. Yes, the humour of the co-incidence and fated-ness of this love is in 'Snowstorm Romance,' an undertone as delicate as a snowflake.

'Snowstorm Romance'. This Review will Be Updated to Reflect the Album's Entire Contents. In the Meantime the content of the Review regards the Title Track.

The composition of the song is a Contemporary-Classical-New Age Tone Poem. A vast Piano Melody gives the listener a "Rolling Melody" that is Anchored by a Harmony of Rich Chord Structure which at times comes across almost like a Synthesizer--so generous is the Echo and Arpeggio Effect. Concealed within the Piano is a Synth Wind Sound Effect which may go unrecognized.

The Music is NOT Cold but it's Sounds Cold or rather like Winter or a Wintry Mood and is utterly enchanting.

Audition the track for yourself. I believe the entire album will shortly follow.

a total romanticism, haunting and poignant, almost all-encompassing, a dive where the hearts fall, an assault on sentiment, surrender is the only way, great technique, perfect, thank you.

Hm, Snowstorm dance in august :). Well not impossible in this nordic parts of the world. But Lenas music is far from cold. Whole album has pretty cosy, home feeling on first listen. Lena is master of light romantic notes. On second listening I hear little experiments and "noises" which is cool, else it'll be too "sweet", joking, joking.

What to say. It's big comfort to have such musician near hand (screen) and just import this cosyness in coming autumn. Thanks for feelings Lena.
