The latest release from Paz del Castillo features eleven solo
piano tracks that reveal the artist to be a dynamic composer and performer and
a master of taste and subtlety.
For Castillo, the title of the album conveys the idea that each
tune on the album is like an individual drop of water that represents a
different aspect of her life, mood, and/or personality. This is absolutely the
case because the songs run the gamut of emotions and feelings, from inner peace
and calm, to mystery and discovery, to wonder and awe.
The title is also apt in the sense that, although each number is
unique and distinct, the album flows from one track to the next with a
consistency and effortlessness that result in a unifying whole, like drops of
water becoming a steady stream. Castillo’s dexterity and creativity engage the
listener from beginning to end, making this a satisfying and enlightening
experience.
This is another worthy offering that will be appreciated by
aficionados of solo piano music.
