Like his first album, 1998's Serenade to the Moon, Esteban Ramirez's second self-released effort, Welcome Home, bears on its cover the words "Romantic Solo Piano," and that's an accurate description, even if, on four tracks, Ramirez is joined by cellist Melissa Hasin. He plays gentle, stately instrumentals appropriate for background music. All originals except for an album-closing cover of "Over the Rainbow," these are anything but complicated tunes, usually consisting of simple themes played in the right hand with basic accompanying chords played in the left. The pianist attempts nothing flashy at all, which is the point. He often sounds like he's about to break into "A Whiter Shade of Pale," a favorite of new age pianist David Lanz, whom he often recalls. You'd have to say that Welcome Home is nothing to get excited about, but in this case, that's not a criticism. ~ William Ruhlmann, Rovi
