Having discovered Anthony Phillips' music relatively late, I thought I would take the plunge with this latest album, which has proven to be excellent. If I had a criticism it is to echo the comments of one reviewer who felt that the individual pieces are too short. The effect of this is to provide relatively little space for the development of a given theme - but conversely, this is a two-CD work with a lot of shorter pieces, and I suspect that Ant achieves his development sequentially.
That aside, this is simply a beautiful work. Each short piece is perfectly crafted. The musicianship and scoring of the work is superlative. The sheer quality of execution takes this into a different league, compared to other moderns such as Karl Jenkins. It is the sign of a great work that you get to the end of the second CD and find yourself wanting more.
If you like your instrumental music gentle, thoughtful, melodic and uplifting, then go buy this CD!

This i believe is a beautiful album, very well performed and constructed. It is more of a classical piece of work than a rock one, however, there is some great acoustic guitars thrown in. My only chritisism is that some of the songs could have been expanded more as they could offer so much more. Hope it gets the positive attention it deserves.

This record might sound as a film score at the first listening. But it appears clear after the next listenings, that we are in presence of a " classic", and an inspired work as well, something that we dont sse often nowadays. Some records are evaluated positively with the time, even if the critics are bad following the release. Life is too short, don't wait after the time, enjoy seventh heaven right now! I'm particularty impressed with novelty in ancient music, Ant and Skeet are exploiting avenues in which Loreena McKennit would never think of exploring, and they are doing it with a great prodigy. I'm also ravished by a couple of tunes in the "Gershwin style" or the "Tarka" style. Ant is also revisiting one of his oldies from "back to the pavilion" " à la Segovia".
Great release.
Cet album résonne comme de la musique de film à la 1ère écoute. Mais il apparait clair après les écoutes subséquentes, que nous sommes en présence d'un "classique et d'une oeuvre inspirée, une chose que l'on n'entend pas souvent de nos jours. Certains albums sont ré-évalués positivement avec le temps, même si la critique est mauvaise juste après la sortie du Cd. N'attendez pas après le temps, la vie est trop courte, appréciez maintenant cette musique. Je suis particulièrement impressionné avec la nouveauté dans "L'ancienne musique". Anthony et Andrew Skeet, exploitent prodigieusement des avenues dans lesquelles même Loreena McKennit ne penserait pas à explorer. Je suis également ravi d'une couples de morceaux livrés à la sauce "Gerswinn" ( un style demeuré inexploré depuis l'ère Gershwinn), et aussi dans le style " Tarka". Anthony revisite également un de ses anciennes compositions en provenance de l'album "back to the pavilion", à la sauce " Ségovia".
Excellent produit.

Bridge between classical and easy listening
Beautiful melodic/symphonic music. It washes over you and gives you a lovely calm feeling. I found it quite similar to Mike Oldfield's Music of the Spheres in it's emotional... Read more
