Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars good compilation for introduction.......2007-03-21

This certainly isn't the "Ultimate" (neither best nor complete compilation of) Secret Garden, but it contains melodies that defined the Secret Garden. This is a good introduction to Secret Garden. Unlike the DreamCatcher, this album actually contains three unique tracks that you won't be able to find elsewhere - Swan (track #4), Hymn To Hope (track #19), Song From A Secret Garden (track #20). All three of those tracks are sung by a Korean soprano, and her voice is simply amazing. The applauses on the 2nd CD are annoying though.

5 out of 5 stars get allured on some of the best emotion triggering songs.......2007-01-14

I was around 12 yo when I first heard about Secret Garden on the 1995 Eurovision song contest when they won the first place with the Nocturne. I was allured by the magnificent sounds I have never heard that far in the pop/tecnho/trance of the 90s. Secret Garden is the reason I since then dream to learn how to play the violin, and although I never succeeded in that goal, I hope that one day me or my kids will make that dream come true. Nocturne was a special, different song but managed to win in a stereotypical music contest and expanded the limits to the present days. Secret Garden's music is surely not only celtic, nor new age or classic, its a mixture of all, combined in the most pleasant way. It manages to fill my soul with emotions each and every time I listen to a song and brings a smile to my face each time I spot a secret garden's song in a movie or a tv series on the "wordless" romantic/emotional scenes where emotion is suposed to flow on the air. I recomend this cd as a good start of secret garden's music.

4 out of 5 stars Wonderful compendium of Secret Garden's music, but not the best..........2005-11-11

This is a haunting and ethereal disk with many of the songs that have made Secret Garden so loved - by the people who love Secret Garden, that is. There is of course always those folk who don't see the simple beauty of the music, like the previous reviewer who felt compelled to classify it in some way. Secret Garden defies classification.

That being said, I believe I would have to recommend the CD "Dreamcatcher" instead of this one if you're seeking a compendium or "Greatest Hits" type recording. Both CDs have most of the same titles, with a couple extra on this one. The only advantage to "Ultimate Secret Garden" is the beautiful mezzo voice of the featured Asian Artist. I don't have the CD case in front of me so don't know her name, but her voice is amazing.

The versions of most of the songs are pretty similar, except that a number of the ones on disk 2 of this set are from live performances; the renditions are weaker, intonation is a bit off in places, and the applause is distracting. The pivotal, breathtaking "Dawn of a New Century" in particular is far stronger on the Dreamcatcher recording and is a piece not to be missed!

5 out of 5 stars Ultimate Secret Garden - Is not trying to be anything else.......2005-09-21

Secret Garden is one of those phenomenons that you either seem to love or hate - they definitely do not fit into any strictly defined category - and I'm sure do not plan to change to fit any-ones preconceived notions!

I love Classical music, and Rock, and many other genere's ...
and can just enjoy this music when I'm in the mood to listen to its soothing melodies and occaisional lyrics.

If you're in the mood for something else - go listen to it - but don't bash the beauty of something you aren't able to comprehend. There are way too many music 'Nazi's' who seem to believe that everything must fit in some tiny preconceived little box in order for their tiny little minds to enjoy it.

This is music which soars and floats and takes your mind completely away from the days troubles or the endless sea of cars plaguing your daily commute.

All the more power to this dynamic duo for their beautiful efforts.

5 out of 5 stars Simply Beautiful.......2005-09-16

I just recently got into secret garden and I really love their music. And since I can't afford to buy all their albums, I bought this one. After reading the precious reviews, I'll say that different people have different tastes. And I really love Secret Garden's music. But i do agree that you can't classify music as 'faux classical' when its not classical.

I don't like dance music but I'm not a granny. And I am sick of pop these days.
