Sure, I fully realize that John Tesh is one of the most bashed and trashed figures in the current music scene. He's a showman, maybe more showman than musician though that's arguable. But the bottom line is that I like the sound on this CD escept for the two songs by James Ingram. I respect those who have no use for Tesh--musicologiests, you might want to stay away from this. But those who enjoy Yanni and the Boston Pops orchestra should find much to favor here. So hold on while I tell you what I liked and why.

GARDEN CITY--The quiet, tentative intro and the ruthmic beat of the development, the build up on intensity as he plays around with the one key phrase. It's this kind of repetition of one phrase that separates those who like this style from those who don't.

BARCELONA--A musical portrait of the spanish city including the flavor of the well known bull ring. (I hate the idea of bullfighting, but it is part of the scene of that city.)

CONCETTA--A strident piece with modern dissonant moments and great stringed accompaniment.

ONE WORLD--Do I spot allusions to X-FILES?

BECAUSE YOU LOVED ME--Diane Warren's song popularized by Celine Dion, and from the movie UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL given full treatment here--a natural for the former Entertainment Tonight co-host.

GRAND PASSION--Piano and Viola blend

BASTILLE DAY--a quiet, rather soulful tribute

SPANISH STEPS--A danceable (almost) number here with jazzy overtones.

ONE MORE NIGHT--Warren Hill on alto sax and Tesh do their thing with this Phil Collins hit.

A great combination of exilerating music to uplift anyone!

I am a fan of Rush and the B-52's and I like John Tesh. Some of the slow songs are dull, but Barcalona and all his fast songs ROCK. Not many reviews here. and one is from a loon. People are missing out! Remember, critics hate quality. They hate RUSH...enough said.

John Tesh is so talented. He truly has found his calling in this world. He brings spiritual peace and lives by his belief.

I could listen to the music of John Tesh endlessly. The man is just simply AWESOME.


Plese consider getting this if you like his music.

Sick, sick, sick, sick, sick, sick.
