Customer Reviews

Rating: - Wife
I love the looks of this set. The wife and I keep it out and people think it is a real keyboard.
Rating: - If you like Tori Amos, this one's for you
Well, I've seen some of the reviews of this item and I must say that some (many) people take their music very seriously (too serious?).All I can say is that I am not the type to argue if there is a better version of Tori's song on a different album or that there were better songs that could have been included in this collection.I like her music.I enjoy listening to her music.On that basis alone, I like this CD set.

Hope this review helps.


Rating: - A Piano: The Collection
Great compilation; especially since it's grouped instead of how many anthologies are done...random order.The only problem is storing that packaging.Why put those paper "eco friendly" CD sleeves in a set contained within a nearly two octave faux-piano keyboard?Great music, though.
Rating: - My beatiful treasure...
I have this amazing piano. The Tori's coments is perfect. Arrive: buy now! It change your life (lol)
Rating: - And wave to the shade of the peppermint tree..."
A Piano: The Collection by Tori Amos is a great starter kit if you are a new Tori fanatic but for me I am an old and loyal fan. Tori has some written and composed some of the best music in the last two decades. You get practically every song on this collection but no covers unfortuntely. I love the b-sides like Never Seen Blue, Beulah Land, Daisy Dead Petals, Honey, Upside Down, and Sister Janet. This is a great holiday gift, I highly recommend it!!
