(Copy of my Epinions review from 2005) I've owned this CD for about 4 years now...it is definitely one of my favorites and was "love at first listen!" As a musician I'm always looking for new and interesting works to listen to and I enjoy finding them in odd places, which is where I found this gem of a recording--my local dollar store, so I really feel I got one of the best bargains ever! The jewel case caught my attention because my favorite season is Autumn--it is also my name--and I love the East Coast and its New England states, plus I have a secret passion for lighthouses which is pictured on the back cover.

The music is well-written, each piece telling a story through its sequence of notes and carefully placed phrasings...every nuance, lilt, and dynamic change enhances the story...light yet interesting use of counterpoint sprinkled throughout. The instrumentation used to accompany the piano playing of David Huntsinger is often sumptuous, rich and dreamy, whether it be many instruments or just a few--the balance is perfect. The musicians and arrangers that assist Huntsinger on his album are some of the very best, such as Jack Jezzro, Cindy Wyatt, and David Clydesdale. Huntsinger blends light jazz and classical stylings seamlessly on this recording. If I had to categorize this recording, I'd list it as "Contemporary" Easy Listening.

This music has the ability to always calm and relax me. I listen to it at work and home. I played it for a coworker who was looking for something different and relaxing. He immediately liked it and wanted the CD...fortunately I was able to purchase a copy for him--it was the last copy sold at the store. I'm 48 and have played this recording for my 81 year old mother, 26-year-old niece, as well as my 7-year-old niece and each of them enjoys this recording! I've also played it for many friends, musicians and non-, male and female...all have enjoyed it. I think it would appeal to anyone who is looking to relax both their mind and body.

Huntsinger's talent shines through brilliantly on this recording...well worth the price, at whatever price you're able to purchase it, should you be able to find the recording!

This CD IS out of print i work with this artist fufiling orders and well that cd and many other of his CDs are out of print because th company Unison Records That made the CDs got bought out by Warner and Warner tossed almost all of unisons records including this one out so if you have a cd with Unison on it it is most likely out of print!!! you can order most of his cds direct from him at davidhuntsinger dot com

I originally bought this CD in a Bargain bin at a music store locally. After hearing it I could not believe that I only paid $3.00 for it. The cello solos are just the ultimate when it comes to relaxtion. Later I had also found another CD by the same artist by the name of - I think it was "New England Sundrise" Tragically enough I lost that CD and hoped that another one would turn up somewhere. Anyways, this CD is the ultimate when you just want something to sooth your nerves!
