"Was fortunate to receive this from my niece who was a music buyer for a major US retail chain - she knew my love of fine piano artistry. This has become one of my "standards" - mixing tremendous technique combined with a wide breadth of artistic license... classical, new age, choral. Exhilarating and soothing (if that's possible) on a single CD. One of those unknown jewels that you feel priveledged to find."

Words don't do this one justice

"It's been one of my "go-to" albums since I got it. Tasteful, emotional, 'real'; one of those rare albums I want to share with people like a rare gift.



Paul's sensitivity and enthusiasm for communicating through gentle music is without comparison. His juxtaposition of the African rhythms with the traditional "Ubi Caritas" is the essence of fusion that made his work with the Winter Consort so essential. The freedom expressed on "Montana" and "Bulgarian Cowboy", and the tenderness of "La Alhambra" sound fresh to these ears 15 years after the fact.



And it's accessible enough to share with parents or grandparents."

Give yourself a real treat.

"I've never come across a composite of songs that access the soul so completely. Each song takes you to another place. Moving, peaceful, or exhilarating. What an incredible combination of emotions this album evokes. I've been listening to it for years and still am amazed how it moves me each time."
