Love Is Surrender
The Music of Ralph Carmichael
Played by Clare Fischer

A recording made by Clare playing organ, grand piano, electric piano, saxophone (alto, tenor and baritone!), cello - even providing the percussion on at least one of the selections by slapping a pocket full of nickels. Clare had a ball recording this album and although he is not now, nor has he ever been, a religious man, he appreciates the talents of the composer and the quality of the music he writes.

Of Clare's performance Ralph Carmichael says, "His sensitivity shows through on this album as he moves from childlike gentleness to brash, bold explosions from the unspoiled placidity of Eden to the distorted vulgarity of twisted values. On 'Beyond All Time' he mirrors the lyrics so perfectly I can almost hear him recite them audibly."

The LP that they produced in 1970 has been unavailable now for several years, but as we keep getting inquiries about it, we contacted Ralph and got his enthusiastic support to reproduce the LP on CD and make it available again. Here it is in the exact same format as the original but now on CD.
