This collection of fifteen solo piano compositions reflects the spectrum of emotions we experience when alone, from the joys and inspiration of solitude, to the trials and darkness of isolation. These pieces are meant to celebrate those precious times away from the crowd, but also to encourage those who are in need of community and hope.
Performed on the same Yamaha C7 concert grand piano that Neil used for his previous two albums (Between Shadow and Light, and Hammer & Wire), these recordings capture the height, breadth and depth of sound that only a piano can produce, everything from delicate melodies to thundering rhythms. There is something for everyone in this collection.
"These are some of the best melodies and compositions I have ever created. I hope these pieces will encourage and connect with listeners on a deep level." - Neil Patton
“It’s not often that I have a hard time naming favorite pieces on albums, but every track on Solitaire is a favorite. This album is a masterpiece from start to finish. This is music that has substance, beauty and profound depth, played with passion, compassion and soul-stirring empathy. Neil Patton is the real deal, folks!” - Kathy Parsons, MainlyPiano.com
