CD Reviews

Depth, meaning and beauty from Peter Mayer
N. Silva | waltham ma | 12/13/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Peter Mayer is perhaps the most inspirational singer-songwriter on the circuit today, and this collection of finely crafted songs is another gorgeous Mayer production. From the uplifting warmth, whimsy and optimism of "Christmas Morning" to the transcendent beauty of "My Soul", this CD cuts right to the heart of what is truly important in life. Peter writes with keen insight and his songs are full of integrity and wonder, focusing on the big picture while remaining firmly grounded in the rich complexity of the human experience.



Peter is a fine guitarist as well, and the production on Midwinter is beautifully sparse, tastefully complementing without distracting from the elegant simplicity of the arrangements. The ecclectic mix of melodies and the vocal nuances speak to his depth and maturity as a musician. If you are looking for inspiration and meaning amid the hype and materialism of the holiday season, this CD may be just what you're seeking, but don't be surprised if it remains in the CD player long after the last cold winds of winter have blown."
Winter heaven, with a bit of Christmas music

"I first heard the song "Green" by Peter Mayer on the Twin Cities Public Radio station 89.3 "The Current". They introduce me to all kinds of different music and songs that I would not be able to hear on other radio staions. The song "Green" stuck with me, so I ordered the "Midwinter" CD. It is not a dissappointment, it is a folksy blend of music, with a lot of guitar accompaniment, the tunes are great to listen to, the words have meaning and I am singing along (always a good sign)!!

It is still winter here in Wisconsin, so the tunes go right along with this beautiful season. Hope others of you will enjoy this too."
The Real Meaning of...Winter

"This CD stays in my player throughout the dark months of the year. It is soulful in a way that traditional Christmas music isn't - because it goes beyond Christmas traditions to get at the heart of what it means to be human and part of the natural world. It's a beautiful blend of humor and depth, versatile acoustic guitar and warm vocals. My favorite lines: "Maybe peace hides in a storm/ maybe winter's heart is warm/ maybe light itself is born/ in the longest night of the year.""
