Silk Road 2

Amazon.com
Originally the soundtrack to a Japanese television mini-series, Silk Road set the standard for electronic/spiritual albums in the mid-1980s. Kitaro's placement of synthesizer center stage and densely layering complementary textures made Silk Road new age's innovative and influential equivalent of Sgt. Pepper's. Fluid synthesizer leads, sweeping washes, and sequenced rhythms evoke sacred-quest imagery that is imbued with a contemplative serenity. Soaring synthesizer lines suggest yearning for spiritual experience, while deep, rolling bass tones emulate a cosmic Om. The themes are continued in Silk Road II; both recordings are tastefully reserved--especially compared with the bombastic electronic orchestrations that mar many of Kitaro's later efforts. --Richard Price

Loved first one , love this one too ........2002-11-28

Cann't tell you about recording quality of this edition - I have older one . This is the part 2 CD from " Silk Road " collection . And it stays with the tradition of first album : slow and deep , very relexing mood . If on some of Kitaro albums I have favorite parts and have to put them on "repeat" ," Silk Road " ( 1 and 2 ) I just listen to .

Sil Road Suite composed by Kitaro.......2005-09-21

The product came in a good packing material without any damage within 7 days as notified by the seller. It was supposed to be a used one, but it did not have any noticable scratches on the CD.
When played, the DC produced beautiful sounds. I am very happy about the purchase. Thanks. I saved over $7 which was 45% savings over a new one. Miki

The magical best cd of Kitaro.......2005-04-04

In this CD Kitaro explodes the magical and misterious ways of the life. Songs like Peace or Bell Tower have the particularity of move our mind to another place.

Magnificent.......2001-11-15

This is simply one of my favorite musical works of all time. The orchestration is magnificent. Something like this could easily have drifted into very cheesy territory indeed, but this is first class all the way. I still only have a vinyl copy and one not so good quality tape. It astounds me that this is not still available! I would buy a cd at a reasonable price (or even not so reasonable) in a heartbeat!

Superb CD. One of the best ever.......1999-08-09

I love this CD. It combines the best of Kitaro's work with a full orchestra. The result is absolutely magnificent.

Album Description

After a dazzling start to his career, which has made him one of the world's best-known and most popular pianists, and a run of recordings of Mozart, Bach, Gershwin and Stravinsky which have made their mark on the classical catalogue, Fazýl Say now shows us another facet of his art: his own compositions. Anyone who has attended one of Fazýl Say's concerts has heard some of his own compositions played as encores, among them the now famous Black Earth for solo piano, based on a Turkish folksong, in which Fazýl, evoking the saz, a Turkish traditional instrument, simultaneously plays the keys and the strings inside the piano, producing an incredible sound. This Turkish pianist is also a passionate enthusiast for improvisation and jazz: `Art Tatum and Ravi Shankar are just as much of an inspiration to me as Bach or Beethoven,' he likes to say. These influences are obvious in this disc's stunning closing track, Dervish in Manhattan, recorded live at the 2000 Radio France & Montpelier Festival before an electrified audience. Contrasting traditional Sufi music and the modernity of "swing," Dervish in Manhattan dazzles with its constantly changing time signatures, rhythmic sequences, syncopations and offbeat accents.

As good as vol.1.......2005-09-25

I love both vol.1 and vol.2. They are the best from Kitaro, along with 'Ki' and 'Oasis'.

The apotheosis of New Age music.......2002-05-18

I'm not by any means a big fan of New-Age composer Kitaro. The bulk of his creative work for the 80's and the 90's tends to blend together into a pastiche formula: _bombastic_ being the term used most often to describe the fair-to-middling results. There doesn't seem much point in preferring 'Light of the Spirit' over 'Asia' or 'Ten Years,' for they all sound about the same: and none of it sounds very good. Despite his Asian background, there is little exotic, inspiring or innovative to Kitaro's sound.

But if you tune your ears back a couple decades, you'll find a completely different Kitaro at the studio-helm. The trilogy Silk Road, Silk Road 2, and Full Moon Story in particular bristle with unique quality. Here we have beautiful synth soundscapes melded with natural resonance and strange-but-stirring sound effects...the mark of genius that, alas, has all but vanished from 1980 on. But no matter--at least these original recordings from Kitaro's "hungry period" remain, albeit at augmented price and limited availability.

Silk Road 2 is my favorite of the trilogy, and quite possibly my favorite instrumental album of all time. Originally created for a TV miniseries, there is a mystical quality to the composition: serene and sublime, it evokes imagery of distant lands, different times, forbidden horizons. Silk Road 2 is great for relaxation, meditation, martial-art practice, and Yoga.

Highly recommended.

Very soothing mystical music........1998-08-01

Great relaxation music. Just put on those headphones and close your eyes your in for a mystical ride.

a master of piano and forte.......2001-11-13

I have been privileged to hear several of Mr. Suk's consistently thrilling live performances, and this CD was no disappointment. Suk takes the instrument through its full Romantic range, from loud, fast, and powerful to subtle and expressive. He offers flawless technique with emotion and introspection.

exciting, well balanced, smooth and melodic..........1999-07-13

Silk Road takes you to mistical lands with very exciting experiences on your way. Music is very cleverly balanced in and within each section. One will enjoy the beautiful melodies of turkish folk and classical music in extremely well compositions through fantactic interpretations of both the soloist-composer and the orchestra.
