4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music but be careful fo the version, November 22, 1999

This is just lovely piano music. If you like Liz Story or George Winston, you'll love this.

There are two versions of this album. The first one is the one to have. The second, with additional tracks is done on an electronic/sampled piano and sounds terrible in comparison to the first. It's not worth having the extra tracks

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of the Airs, January 15, 2009

Sea Airs, Night Airs and Country Airs are some of the best of Wakeman's new age music. Embracing a relaxed, earthy style they remind me of Pink Floyd's development of a style of music that evokes color, emotion and a sense of wonder. The dramatics are not there, but Wakeman seems to embrace his muse with affection and great respect.
Definitely not elevator music but it can be played for background color in a number of different venues. All three are worth owning whether you are a Wakeman fan or not.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wakeman, January 11, 2007

I don't think people give enough thought to how good of a composer Rick Wakeman really is. I have several piano albums by George Winston and Micheal Jones. This CD is definitly on Par with those Artists. Great background for dinner, relaxing etc. If you enjoy piano, you'll like this
