5 out of 5 stars It's my best CD in my life now (from Japan).......2001-08-07

I met this CD on'99. I still listen this CD once in a week or more. I take a relaxing time with it when I drive,eating ,chat and every time! I love his music. This is best CD in my life !

5 out of 5 stars Beautifully, Relaxing, Inspirational.......2001-06-29

Northern Seascape is a fantastic Piano Voyage that everyone should take. And, if you enjoy this CD, Cape of Good Hope is even better. I would give Northern Seascape 5 stars and Cape of Good Hope 6 stars. The presence of so many great artists on both of these CD's shows the respect Jim has acquired and the talent level he has achieved. The title track written with Dan Fogelberg is fantastic and the remake of Walk away Renee is wonderful. Enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars Amazing!.......2001-04-19

As a huge fan of piano music, I picked up this CD for that attribute alone. What an amazing talent! Jim shares his soul in every track. This is one of the best recordings in my collection and one I suggest to friends often.

5 out of 5 stars Music for working, dreaming, relaxing, loving, getting away.......2000-07-27

I have many CD's, of many genres, but this is one of the few I can listen to over and over. It immediately resets my mood with the very first title track. I first heard it in a lovely, old restored mansion in Duluth, now a B&B. It set such a wonderful mood for exploring the richness of the past, it became a must have - I only wish Jim Wilson had more CDs. There is great variety and yet not a single track that destroys the mood laid down by the first track. Exquisite!

5 out of 5 stars An All Time Favorite.......2000-03-21

This is one of my all time favorite instrumental Cds. Simply gorgeous.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars More than meets the ear.......2005-09-07

There's far more to Jim Wilson's music than is apparent on first listening. Sure, it's soothing and moody...but Wilson isn't content with just spinning ear candy. Working within the constraints of the style--no lyrics, minimal improvisation--he crafts miniature masterpieces of chamber music from streams of satisfying melodic motifs and variations. I've listened to both Northern Exposure and Cape of Good Hope over and over, and they have yet to grow tiresome. The best tracks on this disk by far are in the middle: Heart of Innocence through Illuminaria. You can only do so much with Walk Away Renee, though...

Ah, yes, and the guy's got great piano chops too.

5 out of 5 stars Very soothing........2001-08-30

Jim Wilson's music is so relaxing. You just drift away with it.

This is a Jim Wilson classic. Along the lines of Jim Brickman and John Tesh but MUCH more musical and artistic. Get his latest also....CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

    5 out of 5 stars Immediately Attractive And All But Unknown.......2000-11-02

    One of the college courses that I have frequently taught bears the catalogue-title "The Literary Dimensions of Film." I like to think of it more broadly as an introduction to the artistic dimensions of film, and I put considerable emphasis on the musical aspect of cinema. Once, after a lecture, with musical illustrations, on the development of the concept of the film-score, a student challenged me to name the single most important film-score. Without hesitation I said: "Sir Arthur Bliss's score to the Wells-Korda film `Things to Come.'" I had scheduled "Things to Come" and after the students had watched it, I went back and explained in as much detail as I could muster (with the help of a number of CDs and a boom-box) just how brilliantly this score shone all by itself and just how much it added to the film. The discussion of film-music usually centers on the Austro-German expatriates in Hollywood, but this is to forget the Russians and the British, who arrived independently of Hollywood at their own distinct notions of musical accompaniment for cinematic action. (This was in the mid-1930s.) The full extent of Bliss's remarkable score has never really been documented on a recording; I know of no recorded appearance, for example, of the remarkable machine-ballet that accompanies the visual sequence called "The Building of a New World." The most complete suite is on a John Mauceri CD of film-music for sci-fi flicks, and this is marred by extraneous sonic "special effects." The salient attraction, then, of this new issue from Pearl, "British Film Music, Volume II," is the inclusion of nearly ten minutes of Bliss's "Things to Come" score that have never been heard before. Most significantly, we hear the extended version of the "Epilogue," a glorious Elgarian study which adds a chorus in the last eight bars. This CD gives us, in addition to the Bliss score, Sir Arnold Bax's stirring music for a wartime documentary about British resistance to fierce German air-raids on Valetta harbor in Malta; a couple of main-titles from Vaughan Williams; and excerpts from other wartime motion pictures by unfamiliar, but thoroughly competent, studio-composers. Muir Mathieson conducts in many of these. He seems to have been an early "expert" in the art of recording the film's musical track. In all, a fascinating and welcome release.
