"This instrumental CD is hauntingly beautiful in its complex layering of the music. While the music is sophisticated, it is at the same time simple and unobtrusive. The perfect CD to close your eyes and meditate to, as it lifts your thoughts, and carries your imagination through the forests primeval. I am on my second copy of this, having long worn out the original tape of it that I had. It is timeless, ageless, and never tiring in its appeal. A must have for ANYONE who loves music, new age or otherwise!"
Peaceful and beautiful.

"This is some of the only music I've been able to find that is both relaxing and truly beautiful. It's full of folk- and classically influenced tunes and the instruments are used skillfully. While simple, the music retains a pre-baroque, renaissance flavor through a lot of it. The highlights for me are Oaks, with ocarina as wind instrument, and Bamboo, and oriental-sounding one. All the music perfectly captures the feeling of sitting in the forest on a perfect day and watching the wind send ripples through the green light."
Simply the Best

"This is the one album that has stayed with me through nine years, two copies, and countless, countless plays. It uplifts, it relaxes, it soothes, and it makes me realize the possibility of beauty in so much. It is as close to chamber music as we are making these days. The best new age album ever."
Highly Recommend

"This CD is wonderful for background relaxation music...I listen to it at work, and frequently have people ask me what it is. I worked in a nature store that used it as background music. All are very beautiful and elegantly orchestrated songs, no lyrics. Great for yoga, mediation, background, etc."
Peaceful, beautiful "background" music. We love it!

"I've owned this CD for years and I love it. It has some of the most beautiful, peaceful music on it! Everyone I've ever shared it with has agreed with me and wanted to know who the artists were. Even my teenaged daughter loves it! I also love their CD's Legends, Give and Take, and In the Garden as well. Think I'll collect them all."
