Amazon.com essential recording

This collection of solo flute pieces from Navajo-Ute musician R. Carlos Nakai is an evocative delight. The album consists of mostly original material, from the composition "Canyon Reverie," to the improvisational "In Media Res," to "Athabascan Song," an arrangement of a traditional song. The latter in particular stands out, with a faster rhythm and more lilting melody than most of the other pieces. There's also "Ancient Dreams," performed on a bone whistle; the instrument almost exceeds the upper range of human hearing, and Nakai occasionally sounds like he's imitating birdcalls. A classically trained musician, Nakai blends musical traditions to create a whole that reminds one, on occasion, of Japanese shakuhachi music. --Genevieve Williams

Transports you to a place of Healing. May the Creator watch over you Carlos Nakai. Best (contemporary) Native Music around.

5 out of 5 stars Haunting.......2007-01-04

Makes a strong connection between earth and spirit. It doesn't get any better than this.

4 out of 5 stars Flute-tastic........2005-11-09

This is an album I got once after a trip to New Mexico, and obviously every time I hear it I'm transported right back to Santa Fe, on a cool night with the smell of mesquite in the air. I'm no expert, but his native american flute is so wonderful and peaceful, and sounds just as I'd expect and want it to. The music is quite relaxing and great to daydream to, and I'll assume "Earth Spirit" is in many a massage parlor. Highly recommended.

5 out of 5 stars Powerful healing tool.......2005-10-08

Album Description

This is the FIRST ALL NEW RECORDING OF JOHN RUTTER'S MUSIC IN TEN YEARS! "Mass of the Children was written in late 2002 and early 2003. The occasion of its first performance in February 2003 was a concert in New York's Carnegie Hall involving children's choir, adult choir, soprano and baritone soloists, and orchestra. I had always wanted to write a work combining children's choir with adult performers, not only because I find the sound of children's voices irresistible but also because I wanted to repay a debt. As a boy soprano in my school choir I had been thrilled whenever our choir took part in adult works with children's choir parts, such as the Mahler Third Symphony and the Britten War Requiem, and years later I remembered this experience and wanted to write something that would give children a similar opportunity to perform alongside adult professionals". From the notes - John Rutter

My daughter is performing this work with her high school chorale. She is the main listener, and is totally enamored with this particular recording.

5 out of 5 stars A Brilliant Masterpiece.......2005-12-24

After being able to perform this piece myself, I know that is is just amazing! I reccomend it to anyobdy who likes spiritual, uplifting music.
Nice work, Mr. Rutter!

3 out of 5 stars Britten-lite :(.......2005-03-30

I contemplated on this 3-star rating for a bit, especially after reading all the 4- to 5-star ratings preceding this. John Rutter is a terrific and charismatic choral conductor and writer. His editing on Fauré's Requiem really galvanized the popularity of that work, not to mention his own very heart-felt Requiem setting as well. Speaking of Requiem settings, my bone to pick about the "Mass of the Children" work is such that it emulates (albeit in a heart-felt and sincere fashion) other large-scale works that involve orchestral, treble and mixed choruses, very specifically Benjamin Britten's unforgettable War Requiem. I couldn't help but feel a bit slighted by the last few pages of "Mass of the Children" and its much diluted rendition of the War Requiem's counterpart conclusion. I think those famliar w/ the Britten will know what I mean. It's hard not to draw a comparison because the similarities are striking yet determinedly contrived.

In any case, I do understand that the participants and "target audience" are perhaps less lofty than that of the Britten. According to the score inscription, this was "written at the inviation of Peter Tiboris and MidAmerica Productions."

There are other anthems on this CD that offer a nice addition. I think the Clare Benediction is a stand-out as a great latter-Rutter anthem, with a characteristically satisfying, fluent and "inevitable" cadences towards the end.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2004-12-27

As an avid choral enthusiast, and having performed The Mass of the Children, I can say that this is one of Rutter's finest works. Without a doubt, Rutter truly allows his soul to shine through in this masterpiece. The children's choir is fabulous, and the music gives me chill bumps whenever I hear it. I highly recommend this album!

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful!.......2004-09-11

I sing with my school choir, and was blessed to be able to perform the Mass of the Children with the school. It is a beautiful mass-- the lightness of the childrens voices with the power of the adult choirs make a moving and powerful mass. The orchestra is stunning, just enough to add beauty to the piece. Rutter's Mass of the Children is a must-have for any person who enjoys this type of music.

5 out of 5 stars Ethereal music, and a divine harp.......2005-01-16

This Cd is of the great music of
the wonderful composer Alan Hovhaness.
No matter what your favorite style is,
this music you will fine it to be divine,
spiritual.The sonata for the unusual
combination of harp and guitar,"The
Spirit of Trees" was composed in 1983
and is here recorded for the first time.
Unique about this Cd is that money from
sales will help protect the enviroment
worldwide...Unique music, wonderful performances
great price, peak quality sound, and a
noble cause....

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding!.......2001-07-30

An outstanding and important collection of Hovhaness' music. Performed flawlessly on harp, the music is emotionally powerful. The orchestra is wonderful, making this "modern" music both lush and beautiful. This music shines out above all the ugly music of the late 20th century; Hovhaness is one of the best composers we had.

5 out of 5 stars Peaceful, Meditative Music.......2000-07-18

Alan Hovhaness (who incidentially passed away just a few weeks ago as of this writing) is somewhat obscure, but I believe that he will someday be recognized as one of the twentieth century's greatest composers. Forsaking the atonalism that dominated his era, Hovhaness drew his inspiriation from an eclectic mix of ethnic influences, and from the world of nature.

While hardly "typical" of his work, this album of harp-based music displays the Hovhaness stamp in terms of organization, structure, etc. (his style, once identified, is instantly recognizable). It's the instrumentation that makes this unique. Yolanda Kondonassis is marvelous performer who obviously holds a great deal of affection for this music.

One would expect harp music to be quiet, etherial and evocative; this recording does not disappoint. It creates a mood of quiet and mystery, suggesting images of misty forests and far-off shores, but with a depth that lifts it beyond mere new-age noodling and into the classical tradition.

At first listen, this album appears to be "background music", the kind you'd expect to hear playing in a shop of some sort. But upon closer inspection, Hovhaness' unique style and gift for counterpoint is revealed, and the music is seen for what it is: The work of a masterful composer.

Ladysmith Black Mambazo proved itself pliable enough when the a capella group was heavily featured on Paul Simon's Graceland. Other crossover collaborations have followed, but few work as seamlessly as this collection, which features old LBM songs, Zulu traditionals and European classical material done in collaboration with the English Chamber Orchestra. The rich vocal sound literally fuses with the classical musicians in much the same way as a classical choral group does. To its credit, the orchestra (and arranger Isak Roux) loosens up to fit the more oral/aural traditions of the singers--the music is less precise and reliant on virtuosity. The orchestra provides a particularly sympathetic counterpoint on the traditional "Awu Wemadoda" and is downright playful sounding on "Dona Nobis Pacem." Sounding as elegant and reverent, Ladysmith more than meets the orchestra halfway on the famous Bach choral piece "Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring." Making borders and boundaries irrelevant, this is a work of startling beauty that couldn't be improved upon. --Tad Hendrickson

5 out of 5 stars Simply Amazing!.......2007-02-12

I have been a fan of Ladysmith for many years and have a few of their albums but this is simply amazing! Music truly has no boundaries and they have used their God given talent to touch the lives of many people. It doesn't sound like it's possible, but they have really crossed many boundaries and this album is just another example of how far one can go if only they believe!

5 out of 5 stars One world.......2007-01-12

This CD has multipal messages, but the one that strikes me most is the juxtaposition of European "classical" and African "classical". The human soul is one and at the same time unique. That message comes through clearly, and as a bonus, the powerful messages that each track provides in both content and style must not be missed.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful.......2005-04-26

I had never heard of this group before and since I like to investigate different types of music, I decided to give it a try. I have truly enjoyed this CD. The more I listen, the more I like. I would highly recommend.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking! .......2005-02-11

When I first saw the album, I thought---what???? Traditionally, Ladysmith Black Mambazo sings acapella with the notable exceptions of the times they accompany Paul Simon. The group sings a beautiful, close harmony and uses vocalese techniques to provide the occasional percussive click or ululation. Still, the lineup was hard to resist.

"No Boundaries" is pretty amazing stuff, let me tell you. With the help of the English Chamber Orchestra directed by Ralph Gothoni, the two groups meet together on each other's common ground. Ladysmith sings traditional "Amazing Grace", Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" Schubert's "Sanctus." Then the orchestra gets into the African groove for music from South Africa.

Altogether a beautifully arranged, sung, and orchestrated work. If you are new to Ladysmith, this is a good CD to start. If you're an old fan, you'll definitely want "No Boundaries" to complete your collection.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful. Simply beautiful........2005-02-05

The collaboration between Ladysmith Black Mambazo and the English Chamber Orchestra cannot be improved. The sound that both ensembles make together truly is beautiful indeed, as the original Mambazo songs (of which includes "Jabulani (Rejoice)", "Lifikile Ivangeli (The Gospel Arrives)"), the Zulu traditional selections ("Awu Wemadoda (Hey, Man)", "Walil'Umntwana (The Child is Crying)") to the classicals "Dona Nobis Pacem", a joyous song in its own right, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and "Ave Verum Corpus". This album definately and distinctly proves that music has no boundaries. Mambazo founder and lead singer Joseph Shabalala and Orchestra conductor Ralf Gothoni (along with arranger Isak Roux) have brought to their many fans a selection of compelling and captivating tunes.

I cannot say enough to express how much I love her music, you simply must see for yourselves.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect serving of tone, timing, rhythm and musical phrasing.......2005-11-25

A member of the Grande Ronde Tribe in Oregon, flutist Jan Michael Looking Wolf Reibach plays contemplative Native American music on his first ("Peaceful Journey") and third ("One Heart One Spirit") albums inspired by the hawks, rain, wolves, moon, owls, ocean, sunrise, sunset, horses, beauties of nature, and his ancestors. His albums contain both traditional and contemporary pieces that allow him to demonstrate his proficiency and skill with a number of instruments and styles. While always keeping the flute in the forefront, some pieces have been arranged with guitar, drum, rattle, and synthesizer. Some are presented only with solo flute. On "Peaceful Journey," liner notes are minimal, but three of the twelve compositions (Sacred Rain, Coastal Dream, Thunder People) are credited to others. The overall musical trek is one that takes us to calm, serene places. Reibach's restful music is an honest, uncompromising vision that makes clear statements. He plays with depth of feeling in each note, and the emotional resonance of his statements bridge all cultural boundaries.

"One Heart, One Spirit," Looking Wolf's April, 2004 release, offers fifteen tracks -- seven solo pieces and eight with acoustic guitar and/or piano accompaniment. I was happy to see the CD's jacket acknowledge three flute makers (Roger McGee, Odell Borg, and Jeff Calavan). Eleven different handmade flutes were used, including drones (double flutes), river-reed, and an ancient bone whistle replica. Guest artists (Michael Carno, Harri Dancing Raven Reibach, and Dow Yeh) are also credited. To fully incorporate his natural surroundings, some of the songs were recorded live in the mountains near the Grande Ronde reservation. Reibach knows how to put his ideas across with content and character. His passages are economical, and he uses his musical notes in a resourceful manner that recognizes the Native American understanding of how to live within limits. Without excesses, Looking Wolf's "One Heart, One Spirit" is a perfect serving of tone, timing, rhythm and musical phrasing. Aficionados of Native American flute music will be very pleased.

5 out of 5 stars Spirit Winds - Let Your Spirit Soar.......2003-02-23

This was the very first CD I ever owned and I must admit is still one of my very favorites! There is something about this type of native american music played on a wooden flute that really reaches into my soul. These tracks are accompanied with sounds from nature and take you on a journey and help you appreciate the wonders of the natural world. Used over the years since it's creation extensively as soundtrack for documentaries and other programs dealing with the old west some of these tracks are bound to sound familiar to you!
Soar with the eagles, get swept away by the storm.... you'll love it! Perfect for a relaxing massage or meditation, I highly recommend it! I am going to have to buy myself another copy, as I have worn mine out!

5 out of 5 stars Spirit Winds - Peace & Tranquillity.......2001-11-01

This CD is filled with the sounds of nature, delicately augmented by masterfully played flutes, drums and other percussion instruments. An ever-changing tableau of burbling brooks, thunder showers, whippoorwills, ravens, and hawks interact naturally with soothing flutes.

3 out of 5 stars Some disturbing sounds.......2000-05-25

Before purchasing be aware there are three odd additions to what is called a Native American Sound. There is a rather amateurish sounding Spanish guitar piece, some drums that are obviously metal and people faking a horse snorting sound on the last track. I can forgive all but the last item, being a horse person :) There are some enjoyable sounds to listen to here if you can ignore these three glaring items.

5 out of 5 stars This is the one to buy!.......2000-05-08

If you want relaxing music with the sounds of song birds and running water intertwined with mellow North American Indian percussion and wind flute, this is the CD to buy. Excellent sound quality and musical arrangements. Turn down the lights, close your eyes, and imagine...

    5 out of 5 stars Spirit Horses Calms.......2001-03-16

    Even if you HATE classical music this cd will calm and soothe you. I have listened to this cd to fall asleep and to ease my mind when stressed (great backround music), while getting massaged and when ill. There is something magical about this music. I can't usually stand too much music that is soft and sweet but this cd is the answer to most of your problems.....
