This is the second David Lanz CD I have purchased. The first was Christafori's Dream. They are both exceptional. The music is soft, relaxing, comforting. It is great background music for romance, reading, meditating, ...etc. Any time I play this for family/friends the first questions are "Who is that?" and "Where did you get it?". It is music that can be listened to over and over again without getting bored or tired. I always feel refreshed and peaceful after listening to music like this. Enjoy !

I first heard one of David Lanz's songs in dance class. The song was Cristofori's Dream and I had no idea who it was by. That song touched my heart so much so I searched for the artist and I found this CD. At first I was reluctent to buy it because I only heard one song from his CD and I wasn't sure if the rest of the songs were as good. The CD turned out to be better than I expected! I would have given this CD 5 Stars but the one thing I have to complain about...it does need a little more variety but it is still excellent. It is perfect for reading, dancing, spleeping...etc. ENJOY!

I like to hear new age music since a few years ago and the first masterpiece which leads me get into this horizon is the "Cristofori's Dream" by David Lanz. It lets me know that there's some music which can really dissolve one's heart, make your so comfortable. It's the first cut in a Narada's 10 year collection. Then one day I found this album from the CD store and brought it back to home undoubtedly. As expected, it didn't make me disappointed. And since then I love his music.

I received this album as a gift several years ago and absolutely loved it. I played it in the car all the time because it is such a relaxing album. It was accidentally damaged and I had to throw it away. I recently searched and found it again and I am enjoying it almost every day. If you like instrumentals, add this one to your collection. Perfect.

I am a piano player who has risen from being just an average person, to having my own album, play at many restaurants, and make maybe 90,000 dollars a year from just playing piano. And I have David Lanz to thank for this. I stumbled across this exact CD when I was 10 and it has inspired me so much, that I can't even begin to explain how talented he is. I own every single CD and advise you to do the same, because every note that man plays and every note that you here can inspire you to greatness. Love be with you all.... Greg Kates

My wife and I recently were at a bed & breakfast where this was playing as background music. We enjoyed it so much that we wrote down the artist and album and purchased it as soon as we got home. One reviewer said the music all souded the same. I agree somewhat in that, it is ALL relaxing! I really like that there aren't fast/harder pieces in there - this way I don't get jolted with anything while trying to relax.

I own about 12 of David Lanz's CD's now, and it seems as though I can never get enough. I work in a music store and his CD's are the only ones that I ever push on a customer. He is definitely a romantic when it comes to music. This album, "Beloved" is my favorite. It takes all of his beautiful romantic pieces and puts it on one cd. So If you don't know much about David Lanz this is a great way to be introduced to his music. You have to have this CD for cold nights around the fireplace.

I loved this album for its mystical and relaxing music. David Lanz's piano solos are gentle to the ear, and interesting to the mind. His variation on Pachelbel's Canon in D was especially enjoyable. Great for listening to while relaxing, enjoying a fire, watching it snow.

Aside from still being in love with the woman who introduced me to David Lanz, I associate the music of Beloved with a deep sense of passion. I would recommend this CD to anyone who truly understands music on a completely different level than most. I mean not that Lanz's work would not be appreciated by the average listener...quite the contrary. However, I feel that Lanz's style and interpretation are more complicated than one would pick up at first blush. Regardless, I love this guy. I doubt anyone would be disappointed.

This CD was my introduction to David Lanz, and as collection of his previous works, it allowed me to experience the spectrum of Lanz's Music. It's simplicity and expression power proves that you don't need complicated passages to produce a music that touches you so positively that brings you calm and peace instantly as he plays with his heart. For each piece he explains his motivations, thus allowing you to get the picture in his mind.
