RED: Letting Go
As the last installment in a "trilogy" of back-to-back solo piano albums, Isadar ends the quick succession of releases with "Red," following both of his highly acclaimed, award-winning, and chart-topping 2012 albums, "Reconstructed" & "O Christmas." Given the proximity of these releases, one might assume that this album was quickly produced, but in reality "Red" (like "O Christmas") has been seven years in the making.
The seven intricate selections contained on Red defy genre categorization. Although the music throughout has strong influences and elements borrowed from Classical, New Age, and most particularly - Jazz, it is neither of these genres. The album instead pushes forward the idea to categorize Isadar as being his own genre and specific brand of solo piano.
According to Michael Diamond of Music & Media Focus, "...Red opens the door to a whole new dimension of Isadar's keyboard talent... On Red, Isadar steps out of any lingering shadows and charts a bold new direction... Red is a masterful recording that encompasses stunning technique, imaginative composition, and the willingness to take a risk..." - Mainya Music Entertainment
