5.0 out of 5 stars AN AWESOME DIVERSE MASTERPIECE, January 26, 2003

By 

Robbie Steiner (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Convergence (Audio CD)

David Lanz's and David Arkenstone's "Convergence" is truly a remarkable piece of music. What is so great is that it is very diverse, meaning there are a variety of songs with different styles to listen to, but at the same time they all go together. I do not know how these two musical geniuses made an album as such, but it is truly awesome. "The Dragon's Daughter" is such an awesome song. Paul Speer, a guitar extraordinaire, collaborates with David Lanz on this song. The guitar and piano together on this song makes it one of the driving forces in this CD. "The Cello's Song" by David Arkenstone, is an amazing, serious, and beautiful song. The cello sounds absolutely amazing. It is the Cello's song. "Madre de la Tierra" by David Lanz is one of my all time favorite David Lanz songs. This song opens the CD and it is David on the piano with an entire orchestra to back him up. This song is a masterpiece and is one of the prettiest and most moving songs any person will come across these days. Way to go David Lanz and David Arkenstone! If you love music, I know you will love "Convergence"!

4.0 out of 5 stars Get aquainted with two fine artists for the price of one., February 4, 1999

I bought this for the Arkenstone cuts, and at first listen was underwhelmed by Lanz (piano often bores me) as represented by "Madre de la Tierra" and "Madrona," but his "Oaks" is my favorite cut on the entire album, probably because of its solid medieval dance base: a beautiful interplay of the three instruments. Arkenstone's "The Cello's Song" is lushly romantic (I like Russian composers like Prokoviev and Ravell), as is "Love on the Beach." Everything here is solidly good, some superb; my ear just has its own prejudices, which you may share. Definitely worth a listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars A nice sampling of 2 great artists....., January 29, 2007

This cd is recommended as a nice sampling of the works of 2 of the leading new age artists. It has a good variety of tracks. Arkenstone uses more synthesizers and crescendos, while Lanz is predominantly piano, with orchestration, and more laid back. The cello piece is unbelievable!!! Try it - you may get hooked!
