"The music is so quietly powerful, each passage carried me forward so gently to a wonderful peaceful feeling when it ended. Great for meditation. I will feel blessed evertime I play this CD."

""Fly With Me" is an unabashedly romantic collection of piano solos and ensemble pieces by pianist/composer Esteban Ramirez. There are some keyboard washes, but most of the additional instruments are "real," and include oboe, cello, and violin. Warmly optimistic from start to finish, the pieces are melodic and very easy to listen to both in the foreground and background. Calling the CD "like a soundtrack to a love story, " not all of the pieces are full of sunshine. There are a few bumps in the musical road, but most of them are small. About half of the twelve tracks are solo piano, and even though the ensemble work is beautiful, I really like the solo pieces best.

The CD opens with "Promise," which has the fresh innocence of "The Feather Theme" from "Forrest Gump." "Alone Is Not For Me" is a gorgeous piano solo full of passion and yet reflective - a bit of soul-searching at the piano. "The Embrace" sounds like the perfect movie theme for a great love story, full of grace and emotional energy with strings and oboe behind the piano. "Love and Moonlight" is one of the solos, and is so gentle and serene. It is easy to imagine lovers doing a slow dance on a warm evening surrounded by stars and soft moonlight. "Tonight You Shine" is a tender love song that is again sweet and serene. "A Dream Is Not Enough" reminds me a bit of Kevin Kern - strings, oboe, and an uplifting message. "I Am Stronger Now," the closing piece, is a bit more complex and introspective. Again very emotional and expressive, Ramirez' passion communicates very deeply. Made up of several sections or movements, this piece is gorgeous. "Fly With Me" is a very enjoyable CD full of touching moments and deep emotion."

"Another work of Esteban's that has filled me with joy and peace. As Esteban knows, I have all of his cd's by my bedside and listen to them nightly while going to sleep. His musical talents are known by my friends around the world as far as away as Thailand and Indonesia. My grandmother recently received Fly With Me as a birthday gift and mentioned that she felt so relaxed after listening to his cd. Spoken from a woman who does has never really known the meaning of "relaxation." Good Job, Esteban!"
