A Gift of Love [Explicit Lyrics]

Product Description
Over a career of Jazz, R&B and crossover recordings, husband and wife duo Tuck & Patti have produced a remarkable amount of music, especially considering that they rely on the textures of only guitar and voice. Having built their reputation on their sublime interpretations of classic songs from all genres, the duo again explores this approach, but this time with a little something extra: The addition of keyboardist and string arranger Frank Martin and cellist Joseph Herbert on four songs. Originally the recording was conceived as a special project intended for release only in Japan and Southeast Asia, however, soon after it was released everyone wanted a copy. "A Gift Of Love" covers album material made famous by the Drifters, Elvis Presley, Billy Joel, Minnie Riperton, Freddie Mercury and many more. Ten tracks in all.

"The innocence of my life releases the God I love everywhere." These are the words of Rumi, 13th-century poet and founder of the Whirling Dervishes of Sufism, as spoken by the mature and melodious voice of Rosa Parks. Her voice, American history, those words, intense longing: Power. In celebration of the human spirit, The Gift of Love is a recitation of the love poems of Rumi by Dr. Chopra and celebrity friends, including Madonna, Goldie Hawn, and Robert A.F. Thurman. Sensual Middle Eastern-influenced music backs the reading and provides breaks between sections such as "Love Drunk" and "The Light of Love." The Gift of Love is sincere and potent stuff, unafraid of the deep physical, spiritual, and mental hunger that Rumi's words not only taste, but roll about the tongue and swallow whole. --Paige La Grone

Customer Reviews:

Pseudo spiritualism.......2007-06-05

This is a junk product, a "murder of culture" as one review (too) nicely put it. A group of pseudo spiritual characters gathered to stuff even more money into their already fat bank accounts. Madonna? Demi Moore? Topped by Shallow-ak Chopra? Gimme a break...

P.S. what the heck was Martin Sheen thinking?

WOW.......2007-03-27

amazin cd by the sexiest man alive: deepak!!!!!!!! a friend that i was trying to make more than a friend sent this to me-------i shivered when i heard it (no joke) you either "get" this cd or you dont. i guess i played it about 20 times-----its about universal love and you will never forget it if you "get" it..........

Breathtakingly beautiful.......2006-11-08

Deepak reading the exquisitely beautiful love poetry of Rumi, over tasteful dance tracks, supported by goddesses such as Madonna and Demi Moore... What else do you need to know?...

Embracing Rumi's Thought.......2006-04-28

The soundtrack of Aparna Sen's "Mr. and Mrs. Iyer" introduced me to the 10th century poet saint, Jalaluddin Rumi. I was so impressed with, "Kithe Meher Ali..." (lyrics in Hindi inspired by Rumi's work) that I immediately set out to buy his work. However, each time I tried to read the poetry, I was at loss of the lesson. As it sat on my book shelf for several years, I returned back to it recently to meet with the similar fate.

This time though, a wonderful email suggested that I should look for Dr. Chopra's "A Gift of Love" for guidance. Dr. Chopra and his friend enhance the message of Rumi through this compilation.

Packaging: It is an added bonus that the packaging of this product is quite appealing as well. There are two CDs included. CD 1: 35 poems recited by Chopra and his coterie of wonderful readers. CD 2: includes Chopra narrating the story of Rumi and Shams and his examination of the seven spiritual laws of love. (attraction, infatuation, communion, intimacy, surrender, passion, ecstacy).

To all those who wish to tread the path of Rumi's world, start here.

A Gift Of Love!.......2003-12-21

This CD is an absolute joy to listen to! It thrills your senses. It makes your skin tingle. It opens your heart to love, brings you closer to God, the universe and all beings.

Usually I buy a CD, listen to it a few times and then it sits and collects dust. But this one is different. If I have a stressful day or whatever, I come home and listen to this and in only minutes I feel the stresses of the day leave me. I feel more grounded and as a friend said, it has the ability to put you in a deep meditative state.

I would rarely give any CD 5 stars, but this one rates it easily and if you are at are familiar with Rumi - you know his words are profoundly deep and touching to the human soul.

Deepak, You out did yourself this time -- A Fan!

I am sick of shadows! Blind me with you - Rumi

Customer Reviews:

Not a patch on its predecessor.......2007-02-19

The first Gift of Love album is inspiring, insightful and leads the listener on a series of adventures through inspired words and music, creating a deep connnection with something profoundly mystical.

This second album is almost devoid of this depth and sadly, creates no connection. It seems like Deepak Chopra doesn't get that. There are a couple of very nice pieces but the album is mainly formulaic rather than insightful and I am dismayed to say leaves me feeling like I just listened to some music and nothing else.

If you like nice unhurried music that creates a relaxed atmosphere, you can't go past Cafe Del Mar. If you're looking to experience a sense of something spiritual, stick to the first Gift of Love album.

Sensuous Celebration of Rabindranath Tagore's Poetry.......2007-02-07

"Those who met Tagore described him as one of the great souls of our age; Einstein considered him a sage. From what we learn in these poems, he certainly lived his own words. He kissed the infinite; he was not afraid to lose everything for love. In these poems he allows us to experience love with words and music that wash our souls." ~ Deepak Chopra

Poetry weaves itself through Adam Plack's sensual music in passionate whispers and fantasy worlds of past lives and future invitations. Unrequited love becomes rain with pattering feet and smiles of autumn. The lover, while mortal, becomes the world in her absence.

Visions of beauty, romance and passion create an world of mystery and exotic moods. Poetry escapes from pages and breathes through sweet vocal interpretations. Ancient echoes, jazzy escapes and electronic tribal fusion awakens a soul intoxication in "When I Kiss."

Deepak read many translations of Rabindranath Tagore's poems and then translated the poetry for our generation. The results are stunning in beauty. Deepak Chopra, Sinead O'Connor, Angelica Houston, Antonio Banderas, Marisa Tomei, Lisa Bonet, Milla Jovovich, Shekhar Kapur, Gina Gershon, Melanie Griffith, Jared Harris and Claued Challe mingle their voices with music.

If you have read Rabindranath Tagore's poems I think you will be impressed with these new translations. I remember the first time I read one of his poems and the experience was an awakening to poetic wonder.

Within these poems, you may find yourself wandering in India, Africa or Spain. You may become lost walking across clouds or seduced into the pleasures of the invisible.

"...we are drifting in different streams of the world
our lives would be carried apart
and our love forgotten
but I'm not so foolish that I would hope
to buy your heart with gifts"
~My Gift to You

If you are a hopeless romantic, this musical journey with poetry will make you heady. If you love creating moods, this is perfect while taking a bath by candlelight. I'd highly recommend something like "Dream On" from Lush and perhaps the Flying Fox shower gel and an application of Flying Fox Jasmine temple balm. This CD whispers: "Play me in the dark with the flicker of at least 4 beautifully scented champaca candles." I can recommend the Ergo Champa candle or the Ergo Passion Rose de Mai.

The poems presented here seduce with soul longings and entangle you in magical stories of love. The entire CD is breathlessly beautiful and a true gift of love to anyone willing to spend the time diving deep into this mystery. I can also highly recommend Deepak's book: "The Soul In Love."

"Say your last words in silence..."
~Flight to Freedom

~The Rebecca Review

Exotic, sensual, fabulous poetry, even better than No. 1.......2006-12-14

Fabulous production, with groovy, sexy music and poetry that elevates your mind and opens your heart.
Consistently good throughout, even better than " A Gift of Love 1 " in that respect ( No offense to Rumi, whose poetry I adore also.)
All in all a masterpiece!
What a wonderful time we live in when precious ancient mystical poetry like this reaches out to so many fresh minds in such entrancing and enticing ways.

Wonderful and soothing.......2004-02-01

This CD is for anyone who is love or wishes to be. I found the content of this music very sexy, although quite clean in delivery. It evokes the feeling of romance in it's purest form.

Absolute Sensuality.......2003-11-19

I heard this once and then played it 100 times. Doubtlessly the most sensuous album ever. With incredible lyrics, the unmistakable deep and sensual voice of Deepak, and stunning music by Mr. Plack, you can't go wrong. If you are not in love now...you will be.

Amazon.com essential recording

This is a great series of recordings. Leonard Slatkin has generally chosen the right balance of music for the composers used in the series (with terrific cover art from Thomas Hart Benton). This disc is devoted to Copland's film music. The treat here is a version of The Heiress Suite reconstructed by Arnold Freed. Copland's talent for writing for films rested in his ability to identify and maintain themes, at the same time not slacking on the transitional details. This belongs in any Copland collection. --Paul Cook

Customer Reviews:

Its okay.......2007-05-13

I was disappointed and don't listen to it much. I like certain songs, but not the rest.

outstanding!.......2006-01-21

one of slatkins best recordings.with copland hes on, the sound on this cd is ok,not as good as his telarc recordings witch i think are his better recordings but this one is one of them to.

Aaron Copland: the Norman Rockwell of film scoring.......2004-06-14

When I purchased this collection I was already very familiar with Mr. Copland's more popular fanfaric motifs. I was astounded at how much I enjoyed the wonderful division of both sweeping dramatic themes and friendly, home-grown melodies. His film scores for the 1939 'Of Mice and Men' and the 1940 'Our Town' are a testament to classic films set in simpler times. The 'Red Pony' tracks for which the compilation is named are a magical digression from the listener's pre-conceived notions of Copland western fare. When one expects "Rodeo" (arguably one of Copland's most famous themes) one instead receives a gentler and sometimes powerfully moving score. The crowning jewel of this collection, however; is the beautiful suite from his Academy Award winning score for William Wyler's 1949 film of 'The Heiress.' When listening to this magnificent piece of musical history I am reminded how so many great scores are unavailable to listeners of today, and only through recreation and re-recordings can we re-capture those glimpses of film score artistry. I can only hope that many lost or hard to find works continue to be found or recorded so that film score and music lovers in general can continue to discover and rediscover the joy and beauty of our masters in film composing.

Great recording of definitive American film music.......2004-04-08

In a way, filmgoers have been listening to Copland's film scores nearly every time they go to the cinema, since film composers have been shamelessly ripping off Copland for the last half-century or so. When you listen to the "Our Town" suite, do you get the nagging feeling that you have heard this music somewhere before? No doubt you have, in dozens of derivitave film scores from the 1980's and 1990's, sometimes (shamelessly) right down to the exact chord progressions.

How nice it is then to be able to go back to the source, and have rendered in so superb a fashion as it is by Slatkin & the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Slatkin, as usual, upholds his reputation as one of the leading interpreters of American music.

This CD contains the premier recording of "The Heiress Suite," which is a delight to listen to, and of course the fairly well-known "Red Pony" music. Is their a more quintessential piece of "Western" music than the "Walk to the Bunkhouse?" How does a jewish boy from Brooklyn nail it on the head so perfectly, anyway?

Other selections include "Music for Movies," a collection of bits & pieces from an assortment of Copland-scored movies that Copland arranged in 1943, and "Music for Radio," an earlier composition that isn't really "movie music," but fits well with the rest of the compositions on this CD.

Instead of wasting your time on movie soundtracks that are nothing more than just derivitave hack jobs, listen to music by a composer who had truly mastered his craft.

Leonard Slatkin conducts Copland.......2000-11-14

This album is worth it just to get the world premiere recording of "The Heiress Suite" reconstructed by Arnold Freed. Also of note are Walk to the Bunkhouse from "The Red Pony" and New England Countryside. Leonard Slatkin conducts these pieces with great emotional feel that states that this is the same America that Copland wanted to us to embrace.

Album Description

Over a career of Jazz, R&B and crossover recordings, husband and wife duo Tuck & Patti have produced a remarkable amount of music, especially considering that they rely on the textures of only guitar and voice. Having built their reputation on their sublime interpretations of classic songs from all genres, the duo again explores this approach, but this time with a little something extra: The addition of keyboardist and string arranger Frank Martin and cellist Joseph Herbert on four songs. Originally the recording was conceived as a special project intended for release only in Japan and Southeast Asia, however, soon after it was released everyone wanted a copy. "A Gift Of Love" covers album material made famous by the Drifters, Elvis Presley, Billy Joel, Minnie Riperton, Freddie Mercury and many more. Ten tracks in all.

A Gift Of Love ~ Tuck & Patti.......2007-01-10

Great CD. Thanks for the prompt delivery

Soulful, Mellow, Spiritual, Romantic....Perfection!.......2005-11-08

I have been a follower of Tuck and Patti's musical career for years. Due to budget contraints and the exorbitant prices of CDs, I am very selective when it comes to adding CDs to my collection. However, this CD is one of their best. I would also include, what I believe was their first CD, "Dream." That particular CD is another absolute gem that I insist you must add to your collection! In "Gift of Love," there is NOT a single bad track in this beautifully, well-crafted CD. Patti, an amazing songress along with Tuck, a masterful, acoustical guitarist, who take songs you've heard a thousand times on the radio and give it a totally fresh intrepretation. I must say here I am a bit bewildered as to why this CD was labeled to contain "illicit lyrics." Like what are they talking about??? I played this CD three times, and I did not hear anything remotely salacious. I have heard far more offensive lyrics from Beyonce, Bridget Spears and Janet Jackson. Please, do not allow this to prevent you from buying this CD. I swear you will find nothing offensive about it. It's one of those CDs you would want to hear at home while siping a glass of your favorite wine or sharing a romantic dinner with that special someone.

Album Details

1999 Recording by the Norwegian Muse Whose Vocals at the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics Endeared her to Millions. She Would Later Be Tapped to Sing for the Soundtrack of "Titanic". This is the Norwegian Beauty's Second English Language Album Not Found in the USA

Customer Reviews:

Beautiful.......2007-01-10

This is one of Sissel's best albums (I have 4 so far). Includes a great choice of songs and even though this is one of her earlier albums, nothing can compare to her voice, then or now.

WONDERFUL COLLECTION OF PRE-USA SONGS.......2004-03-26

I sampled this at a store prior to ordering it on line. After hearing the samples, I couldn't wait to get to my computer, as Sissel CDs are hard to find here in the states, except for what has been issued here. Stores that stock World Music do not include her for some reason. Regardless, this CD is a must.

Besides her "Fire In Your Heart" from the 1994 Olympics, she does some great covers of oldies, including a duet with Neil Sedaka on his own "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do", which is my favorite song on the album. Neil gives her a lovely dedication and describes his first hearing of this great voice. She does two other Neil-penned songs, including an earlier version of "Solitaire". Mama Cass would also be proud of Sissel's version of "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" (if she was still with us). I still can't figure out how to pronounce her last name of Kyrkjebo, but so long as I get Sissel right, and since she goes by that name professionally (like Cher, Madonna), she will always shine just being Sissel!

Sissel's Gift of Love.......2002-12-30

I was vacationing in Denmark visiting an exchange student we had here a few years ago and her parents. I mentioned that I wanted to visit a music store and look for CD's by Sissel. Well, the eyes lit up on my host. He was surprised that I had heard of her, and liked her music. At first he said "You mean Sissel Kyrkjebo?" and I said yes. He said he went to most of her concerts in Copenhagen and she has a great Christmas Concert. Anyway, we found the Europe version of "Deep Within My Soul" which was slightly different. And I got "Soria & Moria" mostly in Norwegian and "Gift of Love." All three are favorites I play. The CD "Gift of Love" is all English and it shows what a great voice she has. I am partial to "Dream a Little Dream of Me."

She reminds me of Enya in part when she does her songs in Norwegian and Danish. There are also some similarities to a Danish singer named Lene Siel.

A Magnificent Voice That Deserves To Be Popular World-Wide.......2000-05-12

The only reason that this is not a five-star recording is the blandness of some of the selections on this disc. When you listen to this CD, however, it is easy to forgive such a simple flaw. With endearing versions of songs originally done by the likes of the Beatles, Neil Sedaka, and Bread, all in her sweet, lilting yet powerful voice, this CD deserves a place in everyone's collection. Some of the best songs on this disc include the 1994 Olympic Hymn, "Fire In Your Heart" (a bonus track duet with Placido Domingo is included as well), the folk-y "If", the smoky jazz of "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" and the grand melancholy of "Calling You". This Norwegian songbird is already popular in Europe and has sung on the Titanic soundtrack, but now is the time to put her on the top of the charts and purchase this CD.

Something really special.......1999-08-20

I have searched for her recordings since hearing her at the Olympics. I wasn't disappointed when I got this cd. She has a terrific voice. Her renditions of some of the "oldies" that I grew up with are fantastic. This is one of those cd's you can play over and over.

Heard this music as I browsed in a local shop of unique gifts and crafts and felt so relaxed. Found they sell this music and had to purchase it.
