Editorial Reviews
Metaphysical Reviews, Richard Fuller, December, 2001
A brilliant symphony; Filled with Spirit and hope; Soft, serene and transportive from a superb artist and composer!

Product Description
Through the Mist:
Nature as the Door;

Mist on our porch screen gives view to nearby trees and hint of mountains beyond. All beautiful in itself but also a door to inner spaces and to comforting spirit's glow. Healing love brings us to our true self ...

The entire album is a single event, but each piece, Throught the Mist, Ice Mountain, and Glenalyce, and its individual tracks may be enjoyed on its own. Throught the Mist is a full symphony. Ice Mountain may be considered a suite, and Glenalyce was my wife's family's summer retreat. We spent many happy years visiting Grandma there. This album's cover was a misty day's view from the porch.

With Nature, so familiar and so loved, as the door, this music is an inner journey to life's sacred goal. Full of orchestral sounds, familiar but new, this album explores the limits and subtlties of electronic music with a message of spiritual hope for our age.

Listeners' comments include; “Wow ...” “ Profound ...” “ If everyone in the world heard this music, crime would be extinguished ...”

Transported Into Nature.......2006-08-04

Everytime I listen to this, whether I'm at home or in the car, I am transported right into nature. It's one of the best nature recordings I own. Dan Gibson does a wonderful job of melding music and nature. Highly recommended!

Do you have an imagination? .......2005-04-12

I have had this disk for many years. I like to see if I recognize the various types of birds and animals that Dan Gibson has so faithfully recorded and set to wonderful music. Do you SEE the mist slowly drifting across the lake or woodlands and hear the echos from the deep woods?
Track 10, "Celestial Blanket" is one of my favorites from this disk. It is very easy to close your eyes and imagine that you are outdoors on warm summer's night, perhaps laying on the ground and looking up at the sky. Hear the owl, the frogs and the crickets. Do you SEE the "blanket" of the stars covering the "bed" of the world? Do you FEEL the vast immensity of the canopy of the sky, and perhaps, just perhaps, relize that we are on a tiny ball in the vastness of space? I do and all the nighttime sounds say that the animals do. The bells at the end tell me that God is in His heaven and everything is right with the world. What a wonderfully marvelous way to end the day!

This album was great........1999-05-04

This album was unbelievable! It is the best new age album ever. The smooth, rolling melodies take you to a place that you can go with no other music! It's great!

"Sunlight Through A Vaulted Window" a gem.......2006-03-28

Other reviewers commented favorably on his "Sunlight Through A Vaulted Window". I agree, and consider it highly evocative, as an unusual thing happened while listening to this piece. It was morning - sunrise was starting to come through the glass brick window of my house. I lay on the couch with a cup of coffee listening to this CD. It was the first time I'd heard it and didn't know it's title. It was so evocative of the moment I was experiencing lying there watching the sunlight, like ancient heavy light streaming through the panes, that I got up to read the title. I was amazed the name was the same as the event which caused me to identify the music with the moment I experienced. An impressionistic delight, in the vein of Debussy.

Great classical collection and a super track by Davison.......2001-04-22

Peter Davison has a long career behind him (I, personally, have over 10 CDs of his). This CD may not be typical Davison but it definitely is a collection of very well-chosen and orchestrated classical pieces (and some of his music). I fully agree with the friend from Tupelo (that's Mississipi, USA, isn't it?) about "Sunlight Through a Vaulted Window". Very few songs nowadays are capable to touch the chords of our hearts.

Such beautiful music, I was moved to tears!.......1999-05-04

This is by far the best CD I have for relaxation. The classical selections are arranged beautifully and the originals are so moving. "Sunlight Through a Vaulted Window" may be THE most beautiful song I have heard in a long time- actually moved me to tears!

Not a winner at all. The least of all the Adagio series........1999-04-10

Puts you to sleep, I don't mean relaxation, but sleep.

Album Description

In 1983, Patrick Ball released the first record in his Celtic Harp series. Now, ten years and five releases later, he has completed his most personal work to date. Fiona is a collection of traditional songs that includes some of the most beautiful and haunting tunes of the Celtic world - and is named after Patrick Ball's new daughter, Fiona.

For many years, the Celtic harp, with its unique resonance and clear, bell-like sound was an important part of Celtic life, especially in Ireland and in France's Celtic province, Brittany. The few harps which survived into the 20th century, did so as museum pieces, and their incredibly large and varied repertoire began to sink into obscurity, too. Naturally, as musicians and listeners have rediscovered the beauty of these instruments, the old songs and laments have been rediscovered as well.

On Fiona, Ball includes two of Ireland's most enduring and memorable folk songs: She Moved Through the Fair, an oft recorded classic which can now finally be heard in its original form, and Brian Boru's March, an ancient tune marking the brief unification of Ireland in the 11th century. Traditional songs from Scotland and Brittany also appear, along with a work by Turlough O'Carolan, whose popular music has been a feature of each of Patrick Ball's six recordings for Celestial Harmonies/Fortuna. Ball's wire-strung harp is the focus of this recording, but the traditional Irish pipes, whistles, and fiddle provide an occasional complement on several pieces.

magic.......2007-07-05

Not all the discs of new age, works

Track 2 has realy magic.

More than just another Celtic harp album.......1999-12-09

I own a fair number of Celtic harp albums and have listened to more, including Patrick Ball's four previous albums. While almost all of it has been pleasant, this one is a real standout. Where many albums offer still more versions of over-familiar melodies, this one is striking in its originality. Where some performances give the impression of tinkling music boxes or technical expertise that is somehow boring, this one is riveting and evocative. Some purists may find it insufficiently traditional, but I found it beautifully imaginative. Unlike reviewers who preferred this musician's earlier albums, to me this is the most interesting and moving of them all. "Fiona" came out in 1993; I am hoping that Mr. Ball is near to producing another album. Given the progression through his earlier work, I can hardly wait to see what he does next.

Enjoyable, but not my favorite.......1998-05-23

As always, Ball presents spirited virtuoso performances that elucidate traditional tunes and show off the nuances of the wire-strung Celtic harp. I like this album less than some of his previous ones because I think the material isn't as strong: he's a better performer than composer, and some of the traditional material strikes me as rather uninteresting compared with tunes he's recorded before. Still, it's a lovely album, and far stronger than some of the New Age fluff that passes itself off as "Celtic" music these days.

Plentiful on vinyl.......2005-11-24

If you dont want to pay outrageous prices for the rare cd edition this album, it is available widely on lp on the many second hand vinyl web shops. These days it is simple to have it transferred to cd. All the technology is out there!!
Watership fan.

This soundtrack is wonderful!.......2005-10-17

So of all the soundtracks I've ever heard for movies, this one is definitely the best of them all. The music for starters is absolutely gorgeous. "Climbing the Downs" is truly inspirational, from the way it starts out with a lone French horn solo then gradually adds cellos and crescendoes...it's really moving and so gorgeous.

The use of instruments is really great in this piece. Use of alto and bass flute really adds depth to the music that other soundtracks hardly ever have. "Keehar's Theme", how it's longer here than in the movie, is REALLY great. The alto saxophone in that theme is perfect and ideal, it really fits the mood. Love the adding of oboe and flute in the extended of that song, it's so jovial and light.

It's a truly amazing CD...this music is FABULOUS. Like, it fits with everything in the movie. "Bright Eyes" totally brings tears to your eyes, and there's such a mournful oboe solo that's really touching and unique. Fiver's Vision, I never realized until I got this CD that the reason that scene always would scare me was not just the scene itself but because the music behind it created SUCH atmosphere...that is seriously some of the scariest music I've ever heard, it lends to such atmosphere in the movie and adds to it so much.

The Efrafan theme is very fitting...excellent drums, love the beginning with the brass and how it builds.

I reccomend this CD very, VERY highly to ALL Watership fans. Yes, it is expensive, but believe me...it is well worth it. I have no regrets on getting it, I am simply enthralled by this music, by the brilliance of this composer, by the amazing use of instruments in this to create probably the greatest soundtrack I've ever heard. I reccomment it very highly, because it is truly an amazing experience as a musician and as a very long-time Watership Down fan to own this soundtrack. Five stars and then some!

Quite possibly the best soundtrack in the world ever!.......2004-09-03

Forget 'Lord of the Rings', ignore 'Titanic', disremember '2001: A Space Odyssey'.
The soundtrack to the wonderful Watership Down animated film, is one of the greatest soundtracks, if not the greatest original soundtrack ever composed.

Featuring music from Malcolm Williamson - the Queen's official composer (who sadly passed away last year), Angela Morley, and Mike Batt, this is some of the most moving and touching music you will ever hear in a film.

At every point in the film, the music superlatively captures the mood, and affects the viewer.
Even the much-teased Bright Eyes theme, composed by Mike Batt, and sung in an ambient-dream style by Art Garfunkel (which was a British Number One for a number of weeks), never fails to leave most people without a dry eye.

Drama, fear, sadness, death, life, hope - all of these and much much more are wonderfully portrayed through the many different songs. And at the same time, a common motif - now eternally associated with Watership Down and rabbits - plays through the soundtrack. Sheer Brilliance!

This soundtrack is proof that film-makers don't have to follow the over-used formula of just mixing some chart rubbish with a couple of pedestrian original scores.

Although now hard to find, this soundtrack is an absolute must if you appreciate music that moves you...

A must for any "Watership" fan!.......1998-09-30

This release includes the haunting "Bright Eyes," though it is the album cut and not the version was topped the charts in England in 1979 (the single version has an extra verse, and a more uptempo mix). The album cut is the same version heard in the movie.

I've waited years for this CD issue and I'm very glad that it's finally out. My only complaints are minor: The packaging was poorly executed (the artwork looks like a bad scan of the original LP cover) and the liner notes are a bit sparse. I would also have liked it if they had included extra cuts, like the single version of "Bright Eyes," or the three other songs that Mike Batt composed for the film that weren't used. However, the mastering and overall sound quality on the disc are excellent. Angela Morley's soundtrack stands very much on it's own as a beautiful symphonic work.

It is a must for any "Watership" fan.

Watership Down, a modern classic.......1998-09-08

The Watership Down original soundtrack album is a masterful blend of lyrical beauty, suspense, excitement and triumph that accurately and movingly captures the spirit of the motion picture and the original book. Assembling a soundtrack album is never easy--music is usually clipped into pieces to be sandwiched into the cinematic sequences--but the tracks were intelligently and sensitively arranged to provide a concert-like effect. The melodies are intelligent and deeply felt, and the orchestral arrangement was strangely appropriate--strong when it needed to be but disarmingly simplistic in keeping with the pastoral setting of the film. One of my all time favorite albums when I am in a thoughtful mood.
