The first time I listened to this album, I actually thought to myself "what a rip-off to George Winston!". The first few songs like Falling In Love, Reminiscent Joy, and Canon In D, all have amazing similarities to Winston's style, and Falling In Love's last part even contains a part of one of Winston's songs. Taking that into consideration, however, the O'Neill Brothers managed to add enough alterations, including additional string instruments and saxophone, to make the songs different while still sounding fresh and original.
Canon In D is a must-listen, with its piano loosely based on Winston's version, the focus of this song instead shifts to a violin's perspective, adding a springy livelihood and amazing feelings to this classic. Overall this sampler album is an excellent listen and will be worthy of any wedding or just a rainy afternoon.
