这是George Winston的第十张专辑. 涵盖爵士乐钢琴家Vince Guaraldi创作的作品, 包括一些为Peanuts animations写作的曲目. 结合Vince Guaraldi的异想天开而又优雅的作曲和George Winston成熟严谨的演奏, Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi这张专辑似乎是作曲与表演最佳组合. 在这张专辑的大部分中, George Winston趋于淡化Vince Guaraldi的活泼的风格, 在曲目"Skating", "Young Man's Fancy"选择柔和的处理, 但是却使得"The Great Pumpkin Waltz", "Treat Street"听起来显得有点筋疲力竭的. 然而, 活泼演绎的"The Masked Marvel," "You're in Love, Charlie Brown" , "Peppermint Patty" 以及"Eight Five Five"等曲目不仅弥补了偶然的不足, 突出了钢琴演奏大师Winston的演奏. 虽然这不一定是个最好的Vince Guaraldi的选集, 但以George Winston的独特的风格, 使这张专辑成为90年代最优秀的New Age(新世纪)风格的专辑之一. by Heather Phares Combining the whimsical yet elegant compositions of Vince Guaraldi and the mellow, restrained playing of George Winston, Linus & Lucy: The Music of Vince Guaraldi is a mostly happy marriage of the composer's and performer's styles. On much of the album, Winston tends to tone down the breeziness of Guaraldi's performances, opting for a gentler, reflective approach that sparkles on "Skating" and "Young Man's Fancy," but tends to make "The Great Pumpkin Waltz" and "Treat Street" sound a bit washed out. However, sprightly renditions of "The Masked Marvel," "You're in Love, Charlie Brown," "Peppermint Patty," and "Eight Five Five" more than make up for the occasional lag and spotlight Winston's virtuoso piano playing. Though it's not necessarily intended as a best of Vince Guaraldi collection, Linus & Lucy could certainly be used as one; however, it's Winston's distinctive style that makes it one of the best solo piano new age albums of the '90s.
