Our Take

Idan Raichel takes a minimalist approach on his latest album, simply titled "Piano Songs." Known for his fusion of world music styles, the Israeli musician strips back the layers to showcase his skills on the ivories.

The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful track "A Beginning." Raichel's delicate touch and emotional phrasing draw the listener in, setting the stage for what's to come. As the album progresses, we are treated to a mix of original compositions and reimagined classics, such as the mesmerising rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow."

While Raichel's virtuosity is undeniable, some may find the lack of variety in instrumentation a bit monotonous. The lack of drums or other accompanying instruments may leave some feeling like they're missing out on the full Idan Raichel experience.

However, for those willing to immerse themselves in the pure, unadulterated sound of the piano, "Piano Songs" is a captivating journey. Raichel's ability to evoke a wide range of emotions through his playing is truly impressive.

In conclusion, "Piano Songs" may not be the most dynamic or groundbreaking album in Raichel's discography, but it serves as a reminder of his incredible talent and musicality. Sit back, relax, and let the soothing sounds of the piano wash over you.
