Whereas many retrospective albums focus on highlights from the past, Steve Hall's CONCERT FAVORITES also offers a touching look at the future - that of his own son, who has playing for nearly a decade and makes his recorded debut on this album. The selections are a mix of well-known songs that comprise Steve Hall's trademark themes - classical music, inspirational pop songs and hymns, played with style and joy. Most of the songs, like "Nessun Dorma," "Somewhere in Time," "You Raise me Up," and "The Lord's Prayer," are performed by Steve solo in his characteristic style that emphasis the lightness and whimsy in each of the pieces. Hall's son Daniel plays a four song set of classical works from Chopin, Mendelssohn, Handel and Khachaturian - all technically demanding pieces that show his clear talent at the keys.
