Review

Veteran pianist Peter Kater's first project for his own recording label, Source Music, is an attractive, ensemble-based package of reflections on intimate matters such as personal touchstones, inexpressible emotions, and idyllic notions of love. Joined by Paul McCandless (oboe, English horn, soprano sax, pennywhistle) and five other players (guitar, bass, cello, drums, percussion), Kater creates melodies that at times hint at the plaintive, elusive beauty of Oregon and at other times take a more straightforward, heartfelt approach that brings to mind the pop-influenced music of Michael Gettel (particularly in Kater's wistful ode to his wife, "Gabrielle"). Additionally, the wordless vocals in two softly rhythmic selections ("Winds of Change" and "Always and Forever") will prompt comparisons to Pat Metheny's more popular works. Falling somewhere between sentimental and sophisticated, and perhaps just shy of its intended state of blissful transcendence, Heart's Desire nevertheless conveys an appealing, yearning mood of hopefulness that's capable of kindling a warm glow in the hearts of like-minded romantic spirits. --Terry Wood
