pianist / composer 
Orchard features original piano solos by Alicia Bessette, whose first compact disc, Reservoir, was hailed a "brilliant debut" by David Lanz.
Orchard is 46 minutes of contemporary classical solo piano. Each track swells with quiet intensity and emotional longing — perfect for relaxing or entertaining, creating or commuting, working or contemplating. Bessette’s music is for the wistful, for those who are searching, and for those who simply want to enjoy each moment fully. 
"... Bessette effectively tells stories using the language of music and paints vivid pictures with the colors of sound... Orchard was worth the six-year wait between albums, but we’ll hope Alicia Bessette’s third album will come a little sooner! Recommended!" "... If there is such a thing as classic New Age solo piano music, this album would be listed under that heading... Bessette is at her best when she plays around with tempo, style and mood in mid-song, doing so without disturbing the music’s flow... the music is wholly accessible yet beguiling in its complexity." Alicia is a self-trained musician from Holden, Massachusetts, now residing in Southern New Jersey. She performs her own compositions under the Wachusett Records label, in collaboration with producer Benj Lipchak. Orchard is published by Wekepeke Music (BMI). Pronunciation guide for radio DJs: |
