"Fire" is one of the four-part Elements Series by Peter Kater. Like "Water," "Fire" is completely acoustic. It features Kater on piano, Paul McCandless on various wind instruments, and Ludvig Girland on violin. Kater was wise to not embellish the music, as these are three consummate artists who work together seamlessly, creating a warm, inviting, and soothing hour of musical beauty. Like water, in "real life," fire can be dangerous, frightening, and destructive, but Kater and company have focused on the soothing and healing qualities of the elements. On this album, it is more about candlelight and cozy fires in the fireplace than a raging inferno. Some of the seven tracks are quiet and ambient while others are a bit more passionate, but there are no hard edges or turbulence. This music is about being gently transported to a place of peaceful serenity, and succeeds extraordinarily well. All four CDs in this series are gorgeous, and my favorites are "Water" and "Fire." Pour yourself a nice glass of wine and find a comfy spot to relax and enjoy "Fire."

This CD is wonderful. I recently got all 4 in the series and they just take you away - amazing! I am ordering these again for my mom and dad...they love to listen to beautiful relaxing music. Nobody could be disappointed with these new CDs. Peter Kater....I love ya!

Each song on this CD is beautiful. It's a quiet, contemplative compilation that provides superb ambiance for a romantic setting or simply a time to soothe yourself. I like to listen to Peter Kater's music when I engage in writing, which is often. The blend of piano and oboe is pleasing to the ear, and Kater's music enhances my own creative endeavors.

This was delivered in the condition as was expected. Pleased with merchandise and delivery.

Peter Kater continues in his extraordinary yet simple style of providing music in the Element Series. I purchased the "Fire" CD of the series initially, and was so taken with it, that I immediately purchased the remaining 3 "element" CD's. Ranging from haunting to self-conscious, there is a presence to the the "Fire" CD that resonates with the soul. For any music lover who searches for music that provides the soundtrack to life in all of its facets, the "Fire" CD, as well as the entire Element series, is a must!
