	Just out - New review by Arthur Ketchen, Celtic Beat Magazine "Grand Tour this tour de force sure is. The styles and tunes covered here make a grand collection. This CD is so enormous in scope it must be covered with brevity. Suffice it to say that Eric Eid-Reiner is a genuis by virtue of his knowledge, a craftsman supreme by his playing, and an artist by his understanding. Of a musical family he certainly must have absorbed an enormous amount in his formative years." "I particularly liked 'The Golden Tooth / Aidan's Waltz" and also the great 'Eternal Friendship / Angeline the Baker." Here is also a fine 'Tennessee Waltz' (an old standard my father liked), and 'Atholl Highlanders.' In the latter, as in several other spots his [family] comes in on instrumental accompaniment. "This is a musical buffet, but of the first quality, as the artist here is first quality."
			Recent review by Tom Nelligan, Dirty Linen, a folk and world music magazine "Also from Massachusetts is pianist Eric Eid-Reiner,who has studied with Jacqueline Schwab and several other veterans of the New England folk-dance scene, and, based on his debut recording Grand Tour:Traditional Music on Piano, he's been a good student. This is a melodic,gracefully played collection of slow and midtempo piano instrumentals, many with fiddle joining in, drawn from sources as diverse as Turlough O'Carolan, Phil Cunningham, and Thelonious Monk, as well as a number of New England dance-music composers. There's a strong Scottish/Irish flavor, but Eid-Reiner also ably touches on jazz, ragtime, and Jewish liturgical music."

			Photography Eric's photography is available for purchase. Contact Eric to inquire about prices; he also exhibits at craft fairs on occasion. Prices of photos start around about $34 but depend on photo size, whether it is framed or matted, the maximum number of reprints to be produced, and shipping costs. He has recently shifted over to using conservation (UV-protection) glass, conservation mats, and acid-free backing (as well as continuing to use acid-free paper). If there is a certain mood or location (beautiful pure nature, with waterfall, etc.) you're looking for, let him know.
