I bought this CD because I have many others in the National Park Series collection. I love piano music, and there are some beautiful tracks on this CD. However, some of them start off gentle and peaceful, but become loud and dramatic. I understand that Erlien is trying to capture the magnificent grandeur of Yosemite’s physical and spiritual features, but I prefer music that is a little softer and more soothing.

Rick’s music is phenomenal! He and the instrument are ‘one’. Once you hear this CD, you’ll want more. How fortunate we are that he has shared this gift from above with us! Keep recording, Rick!

Experience his gift by finding a peaceful place, without any distractions or noise, just relax and let yourself feel the music that was conceived in his soul.
Afterward. you will feel much more in tune with yourself and the miracles of nature.
He composes all of his music which is incredible in itself. Combine that with his ability to “make love” to the keyboard and you have perfection! I don’t know how else to describe it.
This man is truly a very special and one-of-a-kind artist and human being!
