Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: A broad overview of the two-decade career of David Lanz, Romantic collects music from his numerous studio albums plus four collaborative tracks and three compilation-only cuts. The pianist's works tend to fall into two categories: contemplative contemporary instrumental and classically influenced compositions. The latter is where he shines, as represented best by the sentimental stylings of "Cristofori's Dream" and "Return to the Heart," and the effervescent energy of "Vesuvius" and "Valencia." Most of these 27 tracks are solo piano performances. However, the soaring "Eagle's Path" (with Paul Speer) integrates rock guitar, and a few other pieces include orchestral instruments. This isn't a "best of" compilation, but the double-disc compendium is a good way for longtime fans to get lesser-known tracks and sample albums they are unfamiliar with. More important, it's a means for the uninitiated to learn about, and then seek out, other Lanz music of their choosing. --Bryan Reesman

This is a great CD for lovers of the piano, especially those who prefer flowing melodies played with passion. Lanz may be in a class by himself, and this CD provides a wonderful introduction to his more quiet, romantic pieces. Perfect for evenings spent with a loved one, but also soothing as you head down the road. Highly recommended.

A lot of times you find in 2 CD sets that the 2nd CD can usually have some "fill-ins". Not the case with this set. Great music. David Lanz is awesome.

David Lanz is the best new age pianist ever. His style is smoother and calmer than George Winston and yet more melodic, styled, and "quieter" than Jim Brickman. With this new album, Romantic: The Ultimate David Lanz Narada Collection, Lanz brings out the best of his work with the additions of some new songs. Vesuvius and Valencia are among my favorites due to their great melodies and their soothing qualitites. David Lanz is the modern day Claude Debussy!
Rating: -
For some reason, I had thought this CD was new work. Instead, it is a compilation from Lanz's other CS's: a repackaged assortment of favorite tunes. As a "sampler" of other CD's, it is immensely enjoyable.
Lanz collects favorite melodies which delight the senses. Some sound like a cross between Mannheim Steamroller and Yanni, but all-in-all, if you enjoy his finest original piano melodies, you'll enjoy this.
