A note from Robin about the recording:

While on a 250-mile drive from a rehearsal last year, it began to rain. Then it began to pour. It became impossible to drive safely so I pulled over, glad to have the comfort of my radio to help me bide the time. I began to hum along to a melody I couldn't quite place, but was indeed familiar. It was warm, soothing, simple. For some reason, it brought to mind an image of a large ship sailing the ocean, bound for America. I began to think of my grandmother who had made a brave voyage to this country on a ship just like that. And as the rain continued to fall, the music filled my car with this comforting, yet triumphant music. When I looked down to see which station was playing this music, I saw, much to my amazement, that the radio was not on. I continued to hear the music for a few more seconds before it faded to silence. The rest of the drive home, I pondered this strange experience, trying to find a reasonable explanation for the radio music. And despite what my skeptic friends say, I am not entirely convinced the music came from my imagination. I think it came from some place else. When I got home, I approached the piano and recalled what I had "heard" (A Song For Jennie). Surely, this is a "song of the spirit" and like the others on this recording, it celebrates that within us that is true, simple, clear. Where words fail, there's this. -- Robin Spielberg

This best-selling recording by Robin Spielberg is a follow-up to her debut, Heal of the Hand. The thirteen solo piano tracks are beautifully recorded. The link between classical music and the new adult contemporary market can be explored further with Songs of the Spirit by Robin Spielberg. Spielberg has one of the best set of hands going. Her touch is perfect, sometimes velvet, sometimes sparkling. Plenty of presence, but not forcing. Robin and piano seem to express intimate emotional edges that will move memories in the listener.

這是Robin Spielberg繼首發專輯Heal of the Hand後的第二張作品, 十三首樂曲都是自己原創, Songs of The Spirit的靈感來自一次長途駕車中, 聽到一種很親切的旋律, 不能用語言去描述, 也不知從那裡傳來, 可能是從內心深處所領略得到。Robin的琴聲強而有力但沒有壓迫感, 像一面透明的鏡子，一扇玻璃窗; 同時身兼演奏家及作曲家的Robin Spielberg，讓聽者感受到一種音樂純真的質地，她像打開一個通道，帶我們踏上美好私密的記憶小徑。
