Review of "Seasons Suite" by
Kathy Parsons (mainlypiano.com):
"The "Seasons Suite" begins
with "Colors Change," obviously about the transition of summer
into fall, but also about the concept of change as we grow.
Reflective and subdued, the interplay between Stevens piano and
Iimoris oboe is effortless and flowing. "Autumn Wind" picks up the pace a bit, but continues the easy flow, bringing images of
leaves swirling. "Signs of Winter" is a bit darker and more mysterious. Iimori is a big fan of
Paul McCandless, and that musicians influence is very strongly
heard in these first three pieces - a very good thing! In "Clouds,"
Iimori switches from oboe to English horn. This duet with the piano
is a dramatic musical depiction of the gathering clouds and
anticipation of a coming thunder storm. I really like it a lot!
"Snow" is tranquility set to music. "Sparrows Song" brings us to the beginnings of spring - the freshness in the air, and the
joyful songs of birds in the yard. "July" reflects the laziness
of a hot summer day. "Seasons Reprise" brings together the themes from the various seasons, creating a lovely closing to the
Suite."
