Hold Me To This: Christopher O'Riley Plays Radiohead is virtuoso pianist Christopher O'Riley's second album of solo piano interpretations of recordings by the progressive English rock band Radiohead. Like True Love Waits, Mr. O'Riley's first album devoted to Radiohead repertoire, the new album's performances were developed from his own meticulous transcriptions of Radiohead records. Unlike its predecessor which comprised personal favorites, Hold Me To This interprets a number of rarities, tracks never released on the band's full-length CDs.
