A few years ago, after my beloved mother passed away
from Lung cancer, I took time off my busy schedule and traveled
the nation playing piano for cancer patients and caregivers
everywhere. I played the same music I used to play for my
mother, especially when she was sick. It was a communication to
her from my heart through music which, is the best language I
can speak. My mother told me at the time that this music that I
played, made her forget about her disease and took her to
wonderful places. |

CONCERT REACTIONS
The concert was amazing! The music was outstanding and the setting was unique and beautiful. Your comments on the musical selections were interesting and helped us get the most out of each piece. The other 2 musicians in the trio were at the top of their game, too. It was fun to hear the 3 of you make beautiful music together.
One special surprise for me was to hear some of your compositions as works of art, not just film underscores. I especially liked the two Americana pieces, they showed a lot of depth and passion… How can 3 people sound like a symphony orchestra… What a great concert - I was blown away! We felt privileged to have been there for this memorable event. Please keep us posted on any future performances. We were totally connected to the music. We wish you had played more… It was sublime What a treat tonight was! I could have listened to your trio for hours. I can’t wait for you to record! |
I had a chance to listen to Misha's CD and it is lovely, I enjoyed it very much. I also played it for my Larry my husband after he got up, it seemed to put him in calm mood. Larry has dementia and parkinson's so when I play him classical music it always makes him less agitated. Thanks again for this wonderful CD.

Female* could be
someone's thoughts! God! Misha Segal doesn't just play the
piano. He feels the piano. He lives it. This is passion! This
piece is like a newborn baby. Sounds like a real celebration
of life. Wow, this one is like a mom or dad telling their
kids for the first time that it's okay to sleep alone in
the dark.
Beautiful. |
The music
transported me to worlds unknown. ‘Breathtaking’ comes to
mind.

In your music I found a refuge, consolation, comfort, peace and so many other things… |
Misha, I
just wanted to let you know that Female has been in the top
5 of my CD collection, ever since I heard it for the first
time a couple of years ago; I keep it right next to my
player. As I sit in my home office, trying to catch up with
things, I find your music to be incredibly restful. For
people ailing from any of life's challenges, Female puts
both my body and mind in a peaceful state. The therapeutic
value of this kind of piece of mind can't be overstated. |
Why would your music hit me so and make me cry? Why would it elevate me so? The stories and the colors you create with your music will remain forever in my heart. |
When I close my eyes, I feel like I'm not on this earth. Feels like all problems are taken away. |
Misha, I want to congratulate you on yet another musical accomplishment: Female and Female Part II are true milestones. The music touches the heart and activates the emotions—a true remedy for the soul. I listen to it when I work, drive and rest; it is always fresh and unique. Misha, it has been believed that in medicine, mind is over body. Your music has this magical effect of soothing and relaxing. No matter the turmoil I am in, once I listen to your music I become calm, am able to reflect, recuperate and rejuvenate. If ever music has healing powers, yours does. The ability of your Female CD collection to bring peace to mind and body is unmatched. I hope for many to discover your music’s beauty and power. I wish you the best and that you continue and further your Female endeavor. —Dr. Yehuda Handelsman Pres. CA Chapter American Assoc. of Clinical Endocrinologists |
Beautiful, lilting melodies with the ability to soothe even the most fettered nerves (and I’d say schlepping luggage through an airport at 5AM only to have it lost is pretty fettering). |
I broke down in tears just past half way through. Female is the way I experience my life... |
In Female,
there is a haunting, welcoming similarity to some of Keith
Jarrett’s early works… but the resonance with the spirit
here is, to my ear, more melodious, more easily insinuates
itself into your spirit… Brilliant. |
As a First Vice President of Brokerage Services at CB Richard Ellis, my days start early, end late and I'm ‘on’ the whole time. One night after work, I listened to Misha Segal's Female CD. It was...amazing. I listened to it all the way through and by the end of it, I felt like a new person. Because of my lifestyle, I actively seek things to help me unwind and calm down. Misha’s music was just the remedy. |
Mommy, this music was so beautiful I almost had to cry.... |
The list of artists and bands that compete for our love is growing. Misha Segal has composed a cornucopia of film scores and is also a jazz cat. We were lucky enough to get a copy of his Female CD. I put it on whenever my lady friends are over. Yummy. |
From the opening notes of the first cut on Misha Segal’s newest release, Female, your thoughts will be of candlelit dinners with that special someone. Romantic… peaceful… tranquil: The perfect fix for the end of a work day. Kick back with a glass of vino and become a spectator for a while. |
Female is surprisingly good, not at all what I expected. I was in the CD biz for about 5 years, importing recordings from Scotland and elsewhere, so am pretty jaded when it comes to new music, but this deserves a second listen. |
After your
performance, I can truly say that I think it would be of
benefit to all the patients you would reach… The music of
Female was soothing, uplifting, and did so much to help ease
some of the stress of hospitalization. Patients who attended
told me the next day that it was a wonderful experience that
provided a respite from their illness. |
My wife brought home your album, Female, a while ago. While we have enjoyed your very moving music for some time now, we recently found a new use and received a different kind of benefit from your music than one would have expected. More specifically, when my wife and I were trying to sell our home recently, we had various types of music playing the background and occasionally there was no music playing at all. It appeared clear…while your music was playing in the background, the warmth of our home was enhanced and more importantly, the reaction particularly that of the female prospective purchasers was much more positive toward our home and much more intense…. I will never try to sell another piece of real property without playing Female in the background, and I will definitely recommend that all of my friends do the same regardless of whether or not they use a real estate agent if they want to maximize and expedite the sale of their home. |
