4 out of 5 stars Let your imagination run wild with this one!.......2004-08-24

I owned this CD about 8 years ago, lost it when someone stole it out of my car about 6 years ago and COULD NOT REMEMBER THE NAME! Finally found it by looking for a combination of three of the melodies on here. I've been lost without it. The music selections (most anyway) are combined with nature sounds in such a way that they are very easy to adapt to "rituals" or "meditations". All one needs to do is program the order they want to hear and the imagination will take care of the rest! Namaste!

        5 out of 5 stars Absolutely charming!.......1999-10-18

        a collection of giuliani's guitar quintets plus a violin version of fragments of op.74 (more common with flute). i have been collecting various performances of op. 65 gran quintetto. this one shares top 1/2 with romero-asmf performance on philips duo. this version is more mellow and better recorded than philips add version. romero-asmf play somewhat more sturm und drang style, especially in the beginning but romero does somewhat better in the end when things get very technical. other quintet pieces are quite enjoyable, though all are variations on themes by others. as far as i know, this is the only recording of those. performance of op.74 is outstanding and shows there is more in this simple piece than one could expect. how sad that chamber music with guitar came to a deadend by mid-xix century! for those who are interested in giuliani's music i also recommend emmanuele segre's guitar recital (works by giuliani and paganini) on claves.

              Album Description

              Michelle Sell's brilliant and extraordinary talent as one of the world's favorite harpists shines throughout this CD. New age orchestrations, upbeat rhythmic pop, acoustic jazz, and soloistic classical selections take the listener on an amazing auditory journey. A recording resplendent in brilliant "harpistry" and evocative ensemble songs, Dancing on Air" will make you do just that!

              5 out of 5 stars Beyond the expected..........2004-10-07

              Michelle Sell takes her technical mastery and boldly treads where few harpists dare. "Dancing on Air" is an album of interesting and compelling music. Contemporary harp music is often relegated to playing in the background, mostly to set a relaxing mood but not be too noticeable. Sell's musicality, however, makes this not only a beautiful album but also one that has the depth and interest to command attention.

              As a composer she winds us through different harmonic landscapes (something extremely unique in the realm of harp music) and revels in that richness.

              There's beauty in the production and the arrangements, but the hallmark of "Dancing on Air" is that Sell has created music that yearns to be heard and leaves us grateful we did.

              5 out of 5 stars Dancing On Air keeps my soul company.......2004-09-28

              Every morning when I get to work, I put Dancing On Air in the cd player on my computer and play it throughout the day, softly in the background. It helps keep me calm and centered. My favorite track is Hope Valley -- it's a magical melody. Dancing On Air is my favorite since Circle Round the Moon, one of Michelle Sell's earliest--and most inspired--albums. Anyone who enjoys harp music will want to add this to their collection. Can't wait for more!

              5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, Healing, and Inspiring.......2004-09-26

              Thank goodness Michelle Sell has released yet another remarkable recording, "Dancing on Air."

              I first became aware of Ms. Sell when seven years ago I discovered "Harpestry" on Imaginary Road Records. As a subsidiary of Polygram Records, Imaginary Road Records went around the world and chose their 13 favorite harpists. Amongst others are Michelle, Derek Bell from the Chieftains, and Andreas Vollenweider. Good company for a world class harpist like Ms. Sell. Seven years since "Harpestry" and she is still a talent to be reckoned with as a harpist, a composer, and not the least of which, a musician, who knows what nuance and interpretation of music FOR THE LISTENER is all about.

              My favorite tracks are "Dancing on Air" which is full of joy and hope and "Midnight Waltz in the Rain" which calms you from beginning to end. My recommendation is to buy the CD "Dancing on Air" right now!
