... on Contemplation Van Kemenade plays like a young god... from lyrical and melodic, to screaming and ecstatic.

... they hit the mark, ... a 'heartfelt performance', ... delightful abundance, ... a great intensity that almost feels religious.

... enigmatic, but intensely fascinating five Contemplations.

An album that grows on you the more you play it. (Or is it that you grow on the album?)

In brief, it's richly varied, and it never becomes dull or tiresome.
