The man has magic fingers and an extraordinary piano touch that are perfectly suited to express his imaginative, distinctive, and emotionally powerful music. Even though I have been a big fan for many years, I was still blown away by Isadar?s live performance in my house concert series in July 2010. I have been reviewing and thoroughly enjoying Isadar?s releases since his second piano album, 1999?s Active Imagination, which still stands as one of my favorite recordings. It is also the third installment in a trilogy of solo piano albums released in the past year - Reconstructed, a Will Ackerman-produced anthology of some of Isadar?s best piano pieces O Christmas, Isadar?s second piano Christmas album and now Red, a bittersweet love-themed album that took seven years to produce and that consists of the first new original solo piano material Isadar has released in more than ten years. Red is pianist/composer Isadar?s genre-defying tenth solo piano album and seventeenth independent release from the past twenty years.
