I thoroughly enjoyed the elegance of it. A brilliant concept executed with flair. Just a few pacing choices I would change. A wonderful companion for a quiet weekend.

I find myself somewhat conflicted. The tempo was somewhat languid, and I found my mind wandering. Not poor, simply average. A fair 3 stars.
