Description
|
|
|
|
Mysterious and haunting, these tuneful songs and instrumentals seem to span centuries, connecting us with the joys and sorrows of forebears who live on in them. A swirling and rich acoustic melange, the 12 tracks include "The Dream of the Taliesin" and "A Raven in the Snow" by Jeff Johnson and Brian Dunning; two songs by Mary McLaughlin and William Coulter in the Ulster Gaelic song tradition; David Arkenstone's "Heart of Spring"; Nightnoise's "Something of Time" and "I Still Remember"; and Lisa Lynne's "Nightingale." "Whether listeners cared that Windham Hill recorded live without overdubs or noise reduction wasn't the point; that Windham Hill cared was. And that care, I believe, was partly responsible for the label's success. Customers were not just hearing beautiful music, but beautiful music recorded beautifully—organically and representative of the landscapes and other outdoor imagery that often decorated record covers."—Goldmine
