Free Music Notes for Magical Journeys of Andreas Vollenweider
Free Music Review: Sir New Age Harp Highness
Hit: 4 Stars
I used to listen to Andreas Vollenweider back in the eighties when we had matching do's(actually mine was more early 70's)and his innovative appraoch helped launch the new age musical genre. I admit I've not listened to much since the vinyl days but recently saw his musical performance on a PBS Magical Journeys of Andreas Vollenweider and was once again mesmerized. The result was getting a copy of this performance on CD and I like it very much. It is one of those change up records to throw in the cue or pick some faves for a I-Pod playlist of dreamy music. The qualities are meditative and enhance those slowed down moments of contemplation. Favorite tracks include some from earlier albums like "Under The Moon 1 & 2" which is sort of a tease in it's brevity but has cool chanting and such going on, "Night Fire Dance" which is more in the traditional A.V. vein, slightly upbeat with hushed refrains, "Play of The Five Balls" taht is a series of rising and falling crescendos intermixed with flute and the closing track "Pyramid" that has that mysterious vibe. If you are in the mood for the occasional New Age fix than this disc will help get you there. Recommended listening for starry nights and mountain tops, where the air is clear and where the mind has followed.
Magical Journeys of Andreas Vollenweider Poster
It seems a bit soon for Andreas Vollenweider to be releasing still another collection of his music. Less than a year ago, he released Magic Harp, a compilation of studio recordings and unreleased live tracks. And lo and behold, The Magical Journeys of Andreas Vollenweider has a few of the same tracks. It's really a companion to the PBS special of the same name that's been making the rounds of pledge drives. Magical Journeys does focus more on live performances, including all-too-short orchestral segments like "Passionata." There's also a duet between Vollenweider and his father, Hans, an organist and concertmaster, in which a very young Andreas plays bamboo whistle, improvising with his father on pipe organ. (If you want to see where Andreas got that hair, check out the DVD.) While Magic Harp suffered from a slapdash approach, on Magical Journeys they've at least tried to retain the flow that Vollenweider brings to his studio releases, segueing tracks together, making seamless runs between performances spanning the 1980s to the 2000s. The Magical Journeys of Andreas Vollenweider is a pu-pu platter of the innovative artist that whets the appetite, but doesn't quite satisfy. --John DilibertoInternational Music CDs
