简介
The most surprising aspect of "Imagine Your Heart's Journeys 2" is it's cohesiveness in spite of the huge range of songs styles and interpretations. Each track on it's own is a sparkling gem but listening to all ten tracks is like a warm and welcome visit to a heart's journey. It's a culmination of my life time of being a serious musician. You'll hear jazz, blues, pop, soul, ballads which are sometimes produced, sometimes just a duet. The instruments and vocals are all acoustic and lyrical ~ and always honest, emotional and inviting. Testimonials "As I left the concert hall at Symphony Space, having attended Abigail Lumsden’s New York City Concert Debut of " Heart's Journeys ", I felt very privileged. Sometimes, certain live performances stay in your memory for a very long time because of how special they were and I know that this evening in the concert hall was one of those nights. Not only is Ms. Lumsden a gifted pianist and an inspired artist, she is also a charmingly available performer. Barefoot, with her heart on her sleeve, she never broke her concentration for a second. Seamless in her delivery of a vastly varied program, she began a journey for all who were lucky enough to be in the audience that evening. A journey which rose to great heights of brilliant joyous warmth and also penetrated deeply into the soul of her performance and into the hearts of her listeners. She is at once a seriously accomplished, skilled craftswoman at the piano with flawless technique and amazing powers of concentration and also an extremely funny, witty, and engaging performer. I especially loved how she flowed through her selections of classical repertoire interspersed among her own wonderfully beautiful compositions. Her voice was gorgeous, lilting and also beautifully expressive. Her diction was impeccable and it was refreshing to be able to easily understand every word she sang. Ms. Lumsden’s original compositions were inspired and well crafted. Her timing and inspired placement of materials as the concert unfolded, invited the audience to follow her down a path of sheer joy and entertainment. It was pleasingly evident that she was in full command of her material and her performance was magical. And if that wasn't enough, she then surprised the audience by taking out her violin and playing a duet with her own voice. I was so happy to have experienced the gift of this evening. She was at once entertaining and inspiring. Thank you, Ms. Abigail Lumsden for a wonderful and memorable experience." Ms. Katie Agresta, Director of Katie Agresta Vocal Studios Teacher of a host of well-known artists, including Joe Jackson, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews, Annie Lenox and Cyndi Lauper "The Heart's Journeys show was magnificent and we left raving about your performance. You engaged us in a wide range of emotions and experiences in a thoroughly authentic way and we loved every minute of it." Lou Walinsky, pianist and recording artist "I want you to know that I am awed by your music and what hits me most is the continual gentleness present in your recordings. The energy of your touch allows me to receive the music on a deep body and soul level. Your music is "seemless" and the music sounds so easy to play even though it isn't. You have creatively taken the opportunity to combine different styles of music that do not normally go together on one CD, and make it totally work. I love the changes of style and variety. Because you bring a single focused energy of love and gentility to all the pieces, original and non-original, and because all pieces have a unity of soul which is your specific Abigail mark, you are able to not only get away with the variety of musical genres all on one CD, but it is welcoming, refreshing, and highly innovative."
