Review / Comments ::

Musical deja vu? Somehow both hauntingly familiar and yet fresh and new.  This gorgeous CD is sure to impress as it takes some old classical favorites and gives them a new lease on life, while also introducing the listener to some hidden gems of the classical composers.  Michael's spectacular talent at the piano really shines in this, his first solo album for Hanai Music.  A sensational album destined to win many diehard New Age fans to the world of Classical Music!

My personal favorites were the tranquil Gymnopedie, the delightful Traumerei, and the beautiful simplicity of The Swan. None of these tracks were familiar to me previous to listening to this hour long album.  My all time favorite classical album!!!

It's great for therapeutic massage, relaxing at the end of a busy day, or an even as musical accompaniment to a special occasion.
