It has to be said that Dino can make the less than riveting prospect of a solo piano rendering of well-worn hymns and gospel songs into something thoroughly satisfying. As the title suggests, this is a gentle, soothing session, intended to lull the hearer into a relaxed, contemplative mood. As such it succeeds, and along the route serves up a reminder of the simple beauty to be found in the melodies of such as "What A Friend We Have In Jesus", "It Is Well With My Soul" and "Just As I Am" - timeless grandeur. The arrangement of "Be Still My Soul" (Finlandia) is majestic. So glad this was kept to solo piano, beautifully acoustic. Can't say I am normally an instrumental album man, but this is exceptional and I shall treasure it.
