Reflections - ALBUM - Mail Order CD

"There's a lot to be said for welsh Composer Phelps' collection of pretty solo piano pieces"
Big Issue Cymru (April 18-24 2011)

"A wonderful album, less a collection of songs more a raft of beautiful soundscapes to put on and laze the day away, film producers and television execs could do a lot worse than to schedule some of Dan’s work in to their productions. The best £6 you’ll spend this year"
Chris Phillips (BRfm)



"Striking solo piano debut…romantic and tender explorations…Blessing, for example, is a stunning piece, which boasts a charming melody and gratifying flourishes. Outstanding"
The Musician (The Musicians Union members magazine Spring 2011)

"The mood and sound are of a kind perfectly suited to a...light and halcyon backdrop"
Muso Magazine (Issue 51 February/March 2011)

"Reflections provides a very pleasant listening experience"
The Miniature Music Press (January 2011)

The debut album 'Reflections' by the Composer and Pianist Dan Phelps was launched at Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff, on 22 December 2010.

Entirely solo piano music, the compositions are largely constructed of 'romantic' melodies underpinned by flowing bass lines and is best described as 'Easy Listening' or 'Relaxing'.

Over 10 years in the making, this collection of works draws on many aspects of the composer's life and is inspired by an array of different sources, from poets, artists, classical and contemporary composers as well as general events that have had an impact on him.

Compositions from the album have been and will continue to be performed across the country. The CD has been reviewed in Muso, The Musician (the publication by the Musicians Union), Big Issue Cymru, The Miniature Music Press and Buzz Magazine. Tracks from the CD have been played by Radio Cardiff, Rhondda Radio, GTFM, Swansea Sound, BRFM, Voice Radio, Flame Radio, and Radio Tircoed.
