Definitely Narada's Best Ever.......2007-02-09

The first time I heard this CD, I was living in Juneau, Alaska, just 2 miles from the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier...or at least what's left of it. Blueberry bushes filled our backyard and enormous ravens frequently cawed in the trees, landed with a thump on our roof, and pecked at the skylight over our bedroom. My clock radio was set for 6 AM. As it was summer, the sun was already high in the sky, and I awoke to the sound of the chirping birds that introduce Wayne Gratz's "The Green Room." At the risk of echoing so many others who have reviewed this CD, it truly was nothing short of magical. I was captivated and sat there in bed, looking out at the evergreen boughs bathed in sunlight just...listening...drinking in the moment.

Once the song ended and the spell was broken, I immediately called KTOO (Juneau's public radio station) and asked "What was that song you just played and how can I get a copy?" They told me the name of the CD and I ordered a copy from my local music store. It has been my favorite New Age CD since. I think the only song I love more on the CD than "The Green Room" is Alasdair Fraser's "First Flight." Like "The Green Room," "First Flight" also incorporates birdsong into the melody -- a layering of sound sweetness that I find uncommonly lovely. The combination of sweeping harpstrings and Fraser's celtic fiddle phrasing creates an image in the mind's eye of a majestic bird swooping down, spreading its wings, straining higher and then...soaring on the wind. It is simply breathtaking to hear. I enjoy almost all my Narada CD's, but none as much as this one which is a true stand-out.

Beautiful Music.......2004-08-31

The first time I heard this music I had borrowed the cd from the library to listen to on my daily commute. After listening to the first 2 or 3 songs, I knew I would have to find it. It is beautiful moving music. You can almost feel the stories each song is modeled after. You won't be unhappy!

peaceful, tender..........2004-04-07

I used to play Narada CDs to send my son to sleep when he was young (he's 22 now). This one was one of his favorites and remains to this day. In particular, Wayne Gratz' "The Green Room" - I've heard the piece probably a hundred times over but the memories it evokes can still easily bring tears to my eyes.

This is the best New Age CD I've ever heard!!.......2004-03-26

I was told about this CD from a friend of mine. I thanked him
for letting me borrow it. I immediately purchased it. I am not afraid to say that some tunes in here can make my eyes water. This is great music for your soul. The music takes you into each story like a trip back to childhood. Every artist in here
have contributed their heart's work to make this the best new age CD ever. Buy it!!

my childhood remembered.......2001-11-14

When I was in junior high my mother and I were shoping and came across this tape. We got in the car and were captured by the sound of such peace. In the seventh grade I made a copy for my music teacher but I never gave it to her. I think I will make her one now. I am so happy to find this once again and I can not wait to experience it again as my love for this type of music has grown. This album was the begining of my passion for beautiful classical music. All these years it has been with me.
