CD Reviews
Do yourself a favor...

"...and purchase this album! This is one of the most beautiful CDs I've ever heard. I originally discovered RoseWynde on Amazon's free downloads, and I encourage the reader to do the same. I think once you've heard just one of RoseWynde's songs, you'll want them all. The instruments blend perfectly, and evoke a sense of tranquility and greater story than I could ever hope to describe in one short review.
This album makes for the perfect calm ending to an otherwise stressful day..."
Distant Ayres

"Relaxing, yet with sparkle, these musicians display warmth and complete control of their instruments. Distant Ayres has a beauty and depth that will allow enjoyable listening for many years to come. The perfect soundtrack for work or after work.
Even my grandmother loves it!"
Worth the trouble of buying.

"OK, I have to ship the CDs in from the USA because they are not available locally, but they are worth the trouble .. I have actually downloaded most fo the tracks (for free), but I listen to them enough to feel obliged to support the artist(s) by buying them.
Good tunes, well played, and 10 times better for relaxing to than those 'chill out' CDs that the TV ads are always trying to sell you ('not available in shops' .. OK, this one isn't available in shops either).
If you actually enjoy Rosewynde, check out 'Winter Ayres' too, which the clowns at Amazon have listed under 'classical music', with the artist 'various' .. however a search for 'winter ayres' will find it; And (at long last) you can actually download a few tracks from that one too."
Great CD
