"I have been inspired by Deuter's music ever since I heard his album Ecstacy in the early 80's. All of his music puts me in touch with my spirit. And this one is no exception. Once again Deuter enfolds with his enchanting embrace. All nine selections are infused with the feeling tones of joy and upliftment. If this music was a wine I would have to say it is champagne -- pure sparkling golden effervescent bubbly. Each of the nine vignettes makes me feel as if my spirit has taken a holiday to a lush and idyllic tropical island where the sun shines all day long while little billowing white clouds float along in the sky. Then at night I sense the full moon casting is silvery rays off of the calm ocean waves, shimmering and iridescent. Apres La Pluie, track 4, is one of my favorites. Opening with the beat of tabla drums, as if waves are rhythmically lapping the shore, it sets the stage for the entrance of Deuter's recorder flutes. At first, one magical songbird starts singing while the sun's rays poke over the horizon at dawn. In a little while more birds join in with their songs. Then, as if a warm gentle breeze is rising up off of the ocean, the synthesized strings add their lush texture.Whether you want to relax or daydream or take an inner journey, I can only give this work my highest recommendation. You won't regret it."
Delightful

"Sun Spirit and Koyasan are my favourite Deuter's cd's.
Sun Spirit is delicate yet strong, fiery yet gentle, enthusiastic yet ecstatic, melodic yet ungraspable by the monkey mind. A truly delicious composition for all sorts of activities and non activities. Delicate dance of piano en flute with a very very slight south American scent?"
Couldn't get into this one...

"I have 2 CD's by this artist. I bought one for relaxation, massage, mediatation, and one to impart a bright and lively mood for the beginning of the day. This recording is OK, but not special in my opinion. The music is bright and lively, but for me, not engaging or inspired and doesn't seem to have a flow. I was looking for music I could put on in the morning as background as I started my day and find myself smiling over. I just found this mildly irritating. My other Deuter CD, "Wind & Mountain" is wonderful and perfect for all of the relaxing applications that I had in mind when I bought it. I have listened to Sun Spirit serveral times and at different times of the day, just to give it a fair listen, but I don't like it and won't be keeping it in my collection."
Depends On What You Need

"It's been my experience that you get exactly what you need when you need it. This CD is a great example of that...I am very familiar with Deuter's works, using them very often with client sessions; it's always restful and contemplative. But, in my life at the moment, I needed something joyful and hopeful to remind me of the truth of things and that's what this music provides. This is music to correct a gray frame of mind and when I listen to it, I am easily able to visualize the warmth of the bright sun on a cloudless sky. When you seem enveloped in the fog of worry, put this on...it will chase the clouds away even for a short while. For today, listen to something that brings joy...believe...the rest will follow."
