Review by Deborah Barton-Birden

Music Of Tobias Picker, the album by Tobias Picker, is a delightful collection of classical music that showcases the composer's exceptional talent and versatility. The album features some of Picker's most notable works, including his Piano Concerto, which is a beautiful blend of traditional and contemporary styles.

The album is a great introduction to Picker's music, as it covers a wide range of his compositions, from his early works to his more recent pieces. The music is beautifully performed by a talented group of musicians, including pianist Ursula Oppens, the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, and the Juilliard String Quartet.

One of the standout pieces on the album is Picker's "Old and Lost Rivers," which is a hauntingly beautiful composition that captures the essence of a flowing river. The piece is beautifully performed by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, and it is a testament to Picker's skill as a composer.

Another highlight of the album is Picker's "Keys to the City," which is a lively and energetic piece that features the piano as the lead instrument. The piece is brilliantly performed by Ursula Oppens, who demonstrates her exceptional talent and technique.
