I love this recording. It combines sounds of nature (forest and meadow sounds, stream, rain and ocean background) and some of the most beautiful music ever written. I find it helpful to use it when stress and conflict interfere with sleep. After listening to this, my mood is far more relaxed and am ready to drift off. It is a masterful and beautiful CD.

I love most of Dan Gibson's works but I enjoy this one as background noise for my baby girl as she goes to sleep. The best thing is the the music is played on traditional instruments and not some cheesy electric synthesizer. That makes a huge difference. The last track is nothing but tranquil ocean waves which I loop for myself when I need help going to sleep. Crystal clear sounds and fantastic music. One of Dan Gibson's best.

This is great for relaxation and reflection. Nearly anyone will recognize and be familiar with the music - that makes this a special presentation. The only one that is better is the Strauss version which is virtually mouth watering it's so good.

This is a CD I have owned for years and use on awakening many mornings. It is a calm, soothing way to start the day. I like it so much I have just bought another copy for a friend.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable, relaxing CD. I played it while playing simple games on my computor, so I got a double whammy of stress relief.

I went through hell and back on a number of occasions during adolescents. When things got really bad, I would put this CD on and hope for the distraction. It worked almost every time. To this day, nothing puts me at ease more than this CD. It was a life saver, literally.

This is one of the best couplings of nature sounds & man-made music I've ever heard. Neither overpowers the other. Very soothing and able to "take you there" when you need to be "away from here."

I bought this CD in 1991 and have loved it and played it often over the years, so often in fact it finally scratched and I now have to replace my copy.

Lovely music made unnerving by all the dang chirping in the background.

Might as well have recorded dogs barking.

This is an OUTSTANDING work of musical "art", as is ALL of Dan Gibson's nature sounds and music. Anyone who enjoys bird songs and soothing music in combination, will definately want to come back for more of Dan Gibson's works on CD. This one is one to be EXPERIENCED.....along with ALL of his other works with nature and music weaving together.
