REVIEWS
Unspoken Conversations by Barry DeGroot is an exceptional piano based album that contains an added string base at times; here is an example of good, honest and heartfelt piano, and to be candid, I wish more piano based music was like this, full of tone and intent, full of emotional moods, but ready to manifest a meditative moment when pertinent, this is piano at its very best and as such I believe should do well on the charts for Unspoken Conversations by Barry DeGroot.
There are albums that entertain, and there are albums that speak. Unspoken Conversations, the latest release by pianist and composer Barry DeGroot, belongs firmly to the latter. It is an intimate collection of seven instrumental pieces where every note feels like a fragment of an unspoken dialogue between the heart and the piano. Rooted in neo-classical and new age aesthetics, the album unfolds as a tender confession, a private diary finally shared with the world after years of quiet hesitation.
Barry DeGroot is one of those rare individuals who has captured everything I have expressed about instrumental piano music on his album Unspoken Conversations. The influence of classical music is more than apparent and a critical foundation from which every composition is born and reaches fruition.
