I don't remember how I came upon this CD, but I can't imagine life without it. The music is wonderful and soothing without feeling like you just came out of an elevator music coma.

I really enjoy the vocal, "Valentine" on track 11, with Martina McBride. She puts the same passion into the vocals as Jim Brickman puts into playing the piano on all of the tracks.

One thing that I really like about this CD is the smooth transition from one song to the other. The transition is so effortless that sometimes it is hard to remember each specific instrumental. But, it really does not matter because the music is so relaxing that by the end of the CD I just wanted to hear more of his music.

This music would be great for that special romantic evening or mood music if you were giving or receiving a massage.

Jim Brickman scores with Picture This.

This album was my first introduction to Jim Brickman, and a good one indeed. Only trouble, it spoiled me and later CDs of his were disappointing because of the larger number of love song vocals and smaller number of piano solos.

Especially impressive to me was "You Never Know" with Boney James' saxophone. The sax and the piano practically sing together in perfect harmony.

Also impressive, as mentioned by others, is "Frere Jacques". This is a very introspective interpretation, done very thoughtfully for the most part, but with a brilliant contrapuntal passage.

And of course the hit, Martina McBride's beautiful and delicate vocal version of "Valentine".

These are the high points, but the entire set has conversational, good-natured flow to it. Very highly recommended.

I was coming home from another grueling day of work and through Picture This into my CD player. At that very moment the world slowed down as did my rapid heart beat. Jim has a way of just mellowing thing out,and putting life in a glowing happy light. This is an artist performing at his very best. A defining moment for sure

New-age music carries a bad reputation due to mediocre artists like Yanni and Tesh. But there are true musicians like Jim Brickman, George Winston, and Enya. I was in love with Jim Brickman's music when I first heard Angel Eyes on the radio. His songs are simple, and most importantly, unpretentious. I have all of his CDs and songbooks, and Picture This is in my opinion the best album. I also listen to Jim Brickman to study, and that helped me ace many exams.

I adore all kinds of piano music, from classical, to New Age, to jazz, with stops in between. Of my fairly large collection, this CD is at the top of my list of favorites. I can play it over and over and never get tired of it. It always gives me a happy thrill listening to it. There isn't one song of the 13 on the CD I don't love, but the first one, Dream Come True, is a particular favorite. If you enjoy beautiful music without words as either soothing background melody as you work (I'm a writer, and it is great for that), or to listen to with great pleasure in and of itself, this CD is for you.
