Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
"By heart" is a succinct and accurate appraisal of a lovely, low-key album of 11 piano solos (with occasional string embellishments) and a concluding vocal track. By Heart paints a picture of Brickman as a thoughtful, sometimes pensive, creative soul who quietly cherishes idyllic romantic notions yet reluctantly, realistically, acknowledges that they may forever lie just beyond his ever-hopeful grasp. Such a realization, though, does not blunt Brickman's expressive longing at the keyboard, and By Heart unfolds as a touching, clear-eyed chronicle of a restless but gentle heart. The title track, with little-known Laura Creamer handling vocals, offers some of the weakest production yet strongest emotional clout of nearly any vocal selection Brickman has since recorded. Revealing and rewarding listening. --Terry Wood

By Heart .......2007-03-13

Jim Brickman does it again with this CD. He is especially good at soulful melodies and pieces. I love this CD . I couldn't wait to listen to the next song. I hope that you will enjoy this CD as much as I have!!

Jim Brickman.......2007-02-16

It's an awesome cd. Saw him in concert here in Houston Feb. 13 '07
His magical fingers played blissfully on the piano. This cd is as always, beautiful romantic music. You won't be dissapointed!

a simplistic CD without all that noise.......2007-02-12

I love this CD! Relaxed and beautiful, his playing can take you to dream land. The background music doesn't take away from his beautiful piano playing, it enhances it. I love listening to this CD when I want to unwind. It is so beautiful that when I heard it on the radio, I just had to buy the CD.

Jim Brickman's instrumental work at its best.......2006-12-31

This is the best Jim Brickman's work I think. Vocals are at a minimum. Just his playing which is all I want. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Melodies.......2003-05-10

This CD has the depth to keep you refreshed and feeling romantic each time you listen to it. Following the quick-capturing first track, "Angel Eyes," Jim Brickman goes on making each track a beautiful melody to surround you with comfortable and intimate feelings.

My own favorite pieces in this CD include "Looking Back" which is in a calm retrospective sentiment, "If you believe" which I found uplifting, and "All I ever wanted" which is very soothing. The sixth track, "Little Star" is actually another version of the children song "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," which Jim Brickman has made it so serenading.

The title track, "By Heart," which Jim Brickman put it the last, is special with the female vocal, Laura Creamer, that is very energetic in delivering emotions.

Simple... but absolutely wonderful!.......2001-05-28

I absolutely love the songs on this record. It's been a while since I've been able to sit back and actually relax while listening to something... but the songs here are so calm, that I found no other choice but to sit back in an easy chair and listen. Bravo!
