WHAT THEY'RE SAYING
"A talented pianist...No doubt Eric has every potential to make himself a name as a folk piano player.
↓ more ↓"
- Michael Moll, FolkWorld
"Also from Massachusetts is pianist Eric Eid-Reiner,who has studied with Jacqueline Schwab and several other veterans of the New England folk-dance scene, and, based on his debut recording Grand Tour:Traditional Music on Piano, he's been a good student. This is a melodic, gracefully played collection of slow and midtempo piano instrumentals, many with fiddle joining in, drawn from sources as diverse as Turlough O'Carolan, Phil Cunningham, and Thelonious Monk, as well as a number of New England dance-music composers. There's a strong Scottish/Irish flavor, but Eid-Reiner also ably touches on jazz, ragtime, and Jewish liturgical music."
- Tom Nelligan, in "Dirty Linen" (a folk and world music magazine)
"Grand Tour this tour de force sure is. The styles and tunes covered here make a grand collection. This CD is so enormous in scope it must be covered with brevity. Suffice it to say that Eric Eid-Reiner is a genuis by virtue of his knowledge, a craftsman supreme by his playing, and an artist by his understanding. Of a musical family he certainly must have absorbed an enormous amount in his formative years.
"I particularly liked 'The Golden Tooth / Aidan's Waltz" and also the great 'Eternal Friendship / Angeline the Baker." Here is also a fine 'Tennessee Waltz' (an old standard my father liked), and 'Atholl Highlanders.' In the latter, as in several other spots his [family] comes in on instrumental accompaniment.
"This is a musical buffet, but of the first quality, as the artist here is first quality."
- Arthur Ketchen, Celtic Beat Magazine
"'Grand Tour: Traditional Music on Piano' is a beautiful presentation of a welcomed, diverse selection of melodies from many traditions. I consider this a breakthrough in the use of the piano as an instrument of communicating true emotion and reverence for the past, present day, and future in the language of music."
- Ed Berbaum (old-time fiddler)
