Absolutely beautiful music

"I've been looking for rock/medieval music for a while and had begun to think that there wasn't anything out there other than the odd novelty. So to my extreme happiness (with a little help from Wikipedia, of all places) I came across this CD. I've never been into Deep Purple, and I never even heard of Rainbow, but this Ritchie Blackmore guy is phenomenal. And so is Candice Night. I've seen the word "ethereal" mentioned in a few reviews, and that's the perfect word to describe her voice. Clear, sweet, strong - perfect. This CD (and all the other Blackmore's Night CD's out there that I also bought) has it all - strong rock songs, sweet soft songs, awesome instrumentals. My favorites from this CD are Way to Mandelay, Ghost of a Rose, and All For One."

"I continue to listen to this album often. Every song is good and has its own atmospheric presence. I often travel to the high sierra nevada's and this album doesnt leave my cd player. I highly recommend it. Composed beautifully and sound quality is great."

"A Blackmore's Night classic.
Most of the highlights from the Castles and Dreams DVD are here, Candace's vocals are strong and the guitar work is smooth. There is real feeling to many of the tracks.
The title track is a standout, and "All for One" makes a good sing along when caught in traffic. Go and buy it!"
