Initiative A very special conceptual album featuring the rich, classically inspired solo piano compositions of composer/poet Bradfield. Speaking to us directly with the unmistakable clarity of one solitary instrument, VIRTUE strips away all but the raw essential. Within this framework, twelve original vignettes musically paraphrase the emotions inherent in several of the human virtues, lending their magic through memorable, timeless melodies and deeply sensitive interpretations. Evolving through their stages of development and leading ultimately to a resolution, the classic tones of the piano act as a catalyst in each virtue's understanding and application. This beautiful album is completed with short, insightful essays on each virtue, written expressly by the artist as a verbal companion to the instrumental music.
