“Someone in my position hears alot of material; most of it well-intended and sincere. When I first encountered Brenda Warren's composition and her performances, however, I was simply astounded. I was listening to an utterly unique artistic voice and a pianist with stunning compositional talent and technique to match. Her work is deeply heartfelt and stunningly emotional....a glimpse into her artistic soul. It's a good and joyous day when I get to experience finding such a rare artist. ” - Will Ackerman, Founder of Windham Hill Records
“Here's a beautiful gem of a recording, Brenda Warren's AS YEARS GO BY is touching and evocative, many of its tracks laced with a tender melancholy or somber reflection, yet never to the point that the inherent charm and beauty of the music is lost amidst too much dread and sorrow. The best single word to describe this album would be intimate. Somehow, Warren found a way, no matter what the overall melody, mood or tempo of the piece, to impart a sense that she is giving us a glimpse inside her life, as played on the piano. ” - Bill Binkelman

“Brenda's music takes influence from the heart, the elements of the earth, Erik Satie and Joni Mitchell. Her music is thought doleful and thought provoking. Just the way I like it.".” - RJ Lannan

“The second instrumental album by pianist/composer Brenda Warren is a quiet feast of beautifully expressive solo piano pieces. Although the mood is pensive and mournful, Warren's light touch and ear for gorgeous melodies keeps things engaging and even relaxing for a casual listener. ”
