Peter Davison has a long career behind him (I, personally, have over 10 CDs of his). This CD may not be typical Davison but it definitely is a collection of very well-chosen and orchestrated classical pieces (and some of his music). I fully agree with the friend from Tupelo (that's Mississipi, USA, isn't it?) about "Sunlight Through a Vaulted Window". Very few songs nowadays are capable to touch the chords of our hearts.

I teach Yoga at a gym with a lot of common folks like me. I have received a lot of positive feedback about this CD. Definitely recommend this CD to any Yoga teacher or student. Namaste :-)

Other reviewers commented favorably on his "Sunlight Through A Vaulted Window". I agree, and consider it highly evocative, as an unusual thing happened while listening to this piece. It was morning - sunrise was starting to come through the glass brick window of my house. I lay on the couch with a cup of coffee listening to this CD. It was the first time I'd heard it and didn't know it's title. It was so evocative of the moment I was experiencing lying there watching the sunlight, like ancient heavy light streaming through the panes, that I got up to read the title. I was amazed the name was the same as the event which caused me to identify the music with the moment I experienced. An impressionistic delight, in the vein of Debussy.

This is by far the best CD I have for relaxation. The classical selections are arranged beautifully and the originals are so moving. "Sunlight Through a Vaulted Window" may be THE most beautiful song I have heard in a long time- actually moved me to tears!

Puts you to sleep, I don't mean relaxation, but sleep.
