Stunning, beautiful, transformational.......2007-06-28

I don't take the time to write many reviews, but for this I will. A few times in my life I've heard music that made me stop what I was doing and pay attention, and this is one of those times. It's beautiful beyond description. This is not your typical flute music. It's wonderfully mellow, soulful, and passionate, with a deep feeling to it, a heart. Made me tear up. It also made me relax.

This is a very intimate recording, giving you the feeling of being there. If you listen closely, you can occasionally hear the breathing of the flutist. Far from detracting from the recording, it enhances it by reminding you of the humanity behind the music.

All 12 songs on the CD are excellent. It's a very consistent performance. And if you like it, a companion CD, "The Dreamer, Romances for Alto Flute, Volume 2," is ever bit as good.

disappointed.......2007-04-27

I was so excited to purchase this CD. The reviews were so glowing and enthusiastic about the music. I was sure I would love it. Well......I didn't. The music was all right, but surely not the most beautiful I'd ever heard. And, I discovered that I could hear an intake of breath after every phrase. I found this to be very distracting. I will most likely pass this CD along to my mother, and if she doesn't like it, it will probably go to Goodwill.

Float on the calm..........2007-04-09

Several years ago I was visited an "Earth Expo" in New York City. Although these Expos are supposed to be filled with airy fairy new age feel good moments, I found the experience to be phony and awful. While waiting for a friend to be finished getting a Reiki massage, my body went from tensed to relaxed; but I couldn't figure out why. I walked up the next aisle and there I found the source of my incredible calmness; it was Tim Wheater playing his Alto Flute. I was hooked.

excellent purchase.......2007-02-15

I am very satisfied with my recent purchase. Deliver very prompt and of course a very good cd. thanks

Loveliest Music I've Ever Heard.......2006-03-11

Had my first acupuncture treatment yesterday, and was pretty nervous until I walked into the room and heard this beautiful music playing softly in the background. While lying on the table, I drifted off into the most calming, relaxing state of being that I've ever experienced. I asked the therapist to write down the name of the CD, because I want to buy it. It's totally amazing! I'm glad to see that these fine artists have done other titles, which I'm anxious to explore. I have NEVER recommended anything at Amazon before, but felt I HAD to this time. I would buy this at TWICE the cost. The planet certainly can use some peace these days. Bring this home and find wonderful peace in your own little corner. Share it with your family and friends. It's THAT good.

Soothing & Stimulating at the Same Time.......2007-07-26

I read about this CD in a book by Julia Cameron. She wrote that when she needs to feel safe and secure, this is what she cues up to set the mood. Since I so enjoy having her as my own personal creative therapist (through her books), I decided to give Hoppe a try. Julia was right-again. The combination of quiet synthesizers and a luminous flute, with simple melodies that gently lead your soul, is a welcome respite from a noisy world. I found the music set my mind free to wander or just float freely. There's a fascinating backstory to this collection of compositions as well.

Massage Music.......2007-03-29

I buy anything from this artist. His music is probably the best I have found to use when I am giving a massage. I am a massage therapist, and in my mind, the background music I use is about 30% of the effectiveness of the massage, so I always try to use music that will calm, soothe , and help relax my clients. The work of Michael Hoppe always does the trick.
