About the Artist
Biography of Yiling Huang

Born in Taiwan, Yiling Huang developed an interest in music at a ripe young age, but her musical legacy did not begin until the age of seven when her parents enrolled her in piano lessons.

Inspired by Beethoven and Schubert, Yiling knew since elementary school that her desire and love for music should continue its nurture in Austria. So, at the adolescent age of 16, yiling moved to Austria to attened the prestigious Vienna University of Music and Fine Arts ( Hochschule fur Musik und Darstellened Kust in Wien ). Then in 1988, she went to earn a Drgree in Piano Performance. During her eight years stay in Austria, Yiling gained many lifelong Austria friends as well as toured countless museums, attened numerous concerts and participated in several music seminars. A year after her graduration in Autria, Yiling move to America to study at the New England Conservatory in Boston where she later received a Master of Music Degree.

Yiling, along with her daughter , Clara and her cat, Momi, moved to a new city to start a new life. Through her experiences and her encounters, Yiling's journey has amounted to a time of self-discovery. Although composing music a month before her life-altering move, most of her compositions have been created after transtion.

Initially, Yiling began to write music as an outlet, but after encourgement from many of her friends, family, and her unconditional support from her parents, she built up the courage to take the next step in her ever-evolving journey.

On January 2003, Yiling submitted her compositions to her producer, Paul Speer and four days later she recived an email from him with an invitation for a meeting. Then in March the recording began and not a moment goes by when she is not inspired to compose new pieces.

Yiling also invests her talent in adults or children who have the desire to learn piano . She teaches private piano lessons to students with the philosophy that states, "Playing the piano is more than just playing each note. It is a way for an individual to express himself or herself through music." With Yiling's guidance students are encouraged to play their music on an emotional level rather than on a mechanical level, and thus allowing the students to attain the skill to play music naturally and spiritually which in turn becomes a part of them for their entire lives.

Currently, Yiling is inspired to compose music on a spiritual and philosophical level, no longer just writing music based on her past , but creating music that reflects her newfound connection to life.

Product Description
I began composing music at the time when my daughter and I moved to a new city to start a new life. Initially , I just wanted to express my inner voice through music of my own making. Since then, I have not stopped composing and now, the result is this album.

Many people have asked about my music but I find it so difficult to explain the meaning of my pieces. All I know is that the inspiration comes from deep within my heart and the music is played with my spirit and my soul .

It has been a long journey for me . Expressing this in words is difficult but through music , I am able to tell my story, the story of " A Woman's Journey "

Second only to Riverdance as an international Irish showbiz phenomenon, previous installments of this Platinum-selling extravaganza have become beloved PBS standards. The original buxom quartet of female singers, Lisa, Maev, Orla, and Chloe, have duly been joined by Hayley and are, as usual, backed by a full symphony orchestra and choir, plus enough traditional instruments (the house fiddler, Mairead, is a powerhouse) to keep things legit. The material ranges from folkloric ("Dúlaman" is best known from Clannad's legendary rendering), to a standard from another Celtic nation ("Caledonia," Dougie McLean's love letter to his native Scotland), to classical lite (Handel's poignant "Laschia Ch'io Pianga"), to movie hits ("Somewhere Over The Rainbow" in a delicately lovely, a cappella, close-harmony treatment), to homegrown New Age (Enya's "Newgrange"). Most tracks are produced to turn, presented in the aural equivalent of Technicolor or day-glo, in which colors pop while diverging ever so slightly from nature. In short, although the album offers fresh material, it covers old ground -- but this is exactly what the act's target audience expects and desires. Fans of acoustic folk would likely find the prevailing aesthetic a touch garish, but fans of Sarah Brightman and Il Divo will be diverted and thrilled. The deluxe package offers four bonus tracks, three of them live, plus a silver claddagh charm. --Christina Roden

Loved the range of voices. Had already seen the show on PBS and have the previous CD and DVD.

5 out of 5 stars Greatest CD ever.......2007-07-10

I have never heard such beautiful harmony and vocals! The music was just wonderful! The orchestra was outstanding! I have already decided that "The Prayer" is going to be sung at my wedding. I can't help but cry every time I hear that song sung by Chloe (I have already bought the sheet music for it:))There were a couple of songs that got a little boring but for the most part it was GREAT!!! The DVD is magnificent as well! It has about 6 or 7 more songs.

5 out of 5 stars A great continuation of the first Celtic Woman album........2007-06-28

This is a CD that can be enjoyed by all who like M E H DI, E N Y A or even Loreena Mckinnett. After seeing them on PBS, getting the first CD and seeing them in concert I am hooked. These ladies can SING!
The bonus songs make the album definatly worth the extra few dollars...it includes the fun, upbeat, songs Celtic Woman performs at the ending of their live shows....I was so hoping they would put them on an album. Live or not, the sound quality is PERFECTION, they sound studio quality. I was a little hesistant at first about the addition of the new member...but she rounds the group up nicely.

I bought this DVD and CD as a gift for my husband's birthday. We saw a preview on public television and he immediately asked for it for his birthday. We already own the first Celtic Woman DVD and CD (also seen on public tv and purchased thru Amazon)and this is an amazing sequel to the original. All new music and a beautiful setting for this irish music. The women's voices are ethereal, very much worth listening to and watching over and over again.

This is a great album if you like CW. You will not find typically[traditional] Irish music; but it can be compared to a Las Vegas show.
There are some great easy-listening songs, with an upbeat twist. These
ladies do a great job harmonizing.

5 out of 5 stars The Marvel of Meav!.......2007-06-27

I was suprised at how much I really liked this album, as I have thought of Meav as a bit of stiff-ly professional artist, but I was amazed by the way she uses her beautiful voice, and was pretty happy with the song sellections. Favorites are The Last Rose of Summer, I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marbled Halls, Danny Boy, Greensleeves, and Dante's Prayer. Dante's Prayer is my favorite track. It is just so-o beautiful. And her coverage of Danny Boy is the best I've ever heard. The only track I didn't care much for was Celtic Prayer -- it didn't showcase Meav's voice very well, and was rather sparse. Overall very stunning! Waste no time adding to your collection.

Having used her own modern travails to reorder both her personal priorities and music, Olivia Newton-John seems to have largely cast off the breathy sex-kitten image that haunted her career. But this live album (recorded at Atlantic City's Taj Mahal showroom in 1999) shows she's lost none of her commercial and artistic acumen in the bargain. Neatly interweaving songs from Gaia (the '94 album that chronicles her quasi-spiritual rebirth) and her Nashville outing, Back with a Heart, with a generous slate of hits, the singer deftly casts it all in an aura of uplifting hope with her brief comments between songs. As on-stage shtick, it's oddly not so different from the Rev. Al Green's latter-day tack--and often as effective. Songs like "Xanadu" and "Magic" slide surprisingly well into the mold, even if the numbers from Grease and Let's Get Physical remain obvious crowd pleasers. Newton-John's voice seems much stronger throughout than in her media icon years, backed by an eight-piece band that delivers it all flawlessly. --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars Still going strong!.......2005-10-25

This CD captures 30 years of Olivia and is well worth the money! Seeing her in concert during her anniversary tour several years ago was the greatest, and this CD serves as a wonderful reminder of that memory.

2 out of 5 stars Not A Good Decision.......2005-07-06

Using the term DTS to search for concert DVD's I foolishly bought this item thinking it was a combo CD/DVD(see Flaming Lips).Starting with the two first cuts I quickly realized that this was not one of my better purchases -"magic" was a major disappointmment as were most of the up-tempo songs.If you listen to the ELO or Boz Scaggs DVD's you will here songs arranged as they were originally recorded. Her material is not that musically intricate so one wonders why little attempt was made to do the same. The sound quality is iffy at best - there is an annoying sax on some songs which does not belong. Technically the overall mix is poor and not worth the purchase price.I played a Remastered Bob Dylan CD("OH Mercy") after listening to ONJ and found the sound significantly better.There are remastered recordings of her songs available- one CD will be released on July 12th- and perhaps that's the way to go if you want original recordings properly remastered.

5 out of 5 stars AWESOME.......2003-04-02

ONJ has a beautiful angelic voice. Her version of Have You Never Been Mellow is my favorite. I just wish the song Physical was the newer samba version she's been singing at her concerts.

5 out of 5 stars Smasheroo.......2002-09-08

Olivia has always been an exceptional in-person performer. She comes well-prepared, has everything down perfect and her shows rocket along with nice up moments and nice smooth rides between. This is one artist who not only doesn't need the studio to sound like herself but actually sounds better in person. She's as beautiful as her photos show her to be, and getting even more so with the years. That's the inside beauty shining outside, folks. This woman is beloved worldwide and this album is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy a panoramic look over her exceptional career so far.

1 out of 5 stars a surprisingly poor recording of a great concert.......2002-09-07

Having been to ONJ's wonderful concert, I bought the DVD-Audio of "One woman's live journey" in the hope of reliving that experience, only to find that the sound quality left much to be desired. The instruments sound tinny and the voice is edgy, which is distracting to say the least. This doesn't do justice to Olivia's performance.
The sound quality is definitely within the bottom 10% of new recordings. Let's hope that the record company will rectify the problem by releasing a remastered version in the near future.

Album Description

Music as an awakening - Aeone is multi level-listening. Clear ethereal vocals rise above full ambient grooves. Contrasting dulcimer and Uillean pipes and other woody instruments lie in lush and cinematic tracks with a touch of the ancient Celtic. Hypnotic and sensual - the unfolding of the nature of a woman in all her many guises - Aeone takes you through the journey of her life in a tapestry of story, voice, sound and rhythm, from which you may not return the same - or then again ......

2 out of 5 stars Disappointed..........2006-05-09

I bought Aeone's first cd Point of Faith and absolutely loved it so naturally I ran out and bought this one as well. Unfortunately, the music styles on this disc are so radically different I just can't feel the same connection. If you want to try it out, I suggest borrowing it from someone first. My advice, if you loved the musical style of Point of Faith, leave this one on the rack.

4 out of 5 stars This CD is very nice........2005-10-07

I like this CD but I love Point of Faith.

3 out of 5 stars Not bad.......2004-07-01

I came across Aeone because I'm a huge Loreena McKennitt fan and Aeone was listed as a similar artist. For the most part I don't think there is much of a comparison between Aeone and Loreena, their vocals and music styling are quite different, with Loreena coming across as the much better singer. That's not to say that Aeone isn't a good artist, she's just different then what I expected. In my humble opinion, if I were to describe her music to someone, I would say that it's a mix of Loreena inspired vocals along with Enigma type music (heavy basslines and almost sensual beats). In theory if you liked Enigma and Loreena it would be great, but the end result still feels lacking something to me.

My favorite track is 3, Body In Mind because it has a heavy almost lusty sound and the lyrics are great. My least favorite (heck I can't stand it) is track 12, Voice of America, mostly because of the guy almost rapping in it. That is why the CD falls flat in some spots, you feel a little uncomfortable because it seems like the artist is simply doing something because it is different, not because it makes sense.

So, if given a choice between this and another CD, I would try the other one first. But if you have money to blow and like trying out different things, then this CD is for you.

2 out of 5 stars I felt like an outsider..........2004-03-09

Let me say that I really loved her first album - great vocals, fantastic rhythms, very seductive. So I expected much the same from this one - a more polished intricate album, even better rhythmic interplay, I can't fault the vocals, she has a fine instrument, but after a while I noticed a continuing theme in the songs core subject material; things began to be less balanced, more feminine uber-allus, seemingly to the exclusion of all else. I felt strangely shut out - an odd sensation to have from a CD.

5 out of 5 stars Familiar but oh-so different!.......2003-03-10

I came across Aeone (pronounced Ay-Own) while doing a musical search-and-listen (a favorite hobby) here at amazon.com. A bona fide Loreena-lover, why hadn't I heard of this artist before? Apparently she's been rather busy writing scores for movies (obvious evidence of her protean talent) and has only intermittently taken precious time out to create musical magic on her own behalf.

I went to her website ... and gave an ear to downloaded samples from The Woman's Touch. I was bowled over. Wow! From the eponymous first song, evoking a less quirky Kate Bush but with fuller production, to the anthemic Voice of America replete with hints of hip-hop, this CD is the poster child for eclecticism. Though a journey up and down diffuse acoustic pathways it has a soulful cohesion via Aeone's vocal stylings and subtle thematic elements. Enya-esque in her use of melodic multi-layering and Loreena-like with celtic-sensible, soaring invocations, Aeone sings from a spiritual place but on her very own merits. Her voice doesn't stand alone like Loreena's, pushing and kneading, but instead sits so very comfortably, sensually, amid the shimmering lushness of dulcimers and uilleann pipes and instruments more contemporary. Even a hard rock riff here and there complements instead of detracts.

I guess that's the essence of The Woman's Touch, at once ancient and modern. Aeone's music spans eras yet its spirit is a most intimate one for the receptive listener. That's the gist of it for me, that I could hear it filling a cathedral or listen in bed with headphones in the dark and be equally moved. The connection made is ultimately personal -- which is surely the true objective of any sincere musician. Highly recommended to musicophiles with good taste.

Oh, and thanks be to amazon.com for the oh-so useful cross-referencing feature of its music reviews format by which I found Aeone.
