4.0 out of 5 stars Not Quite Medieval But Quite Wonderful!, December 29, 2003

I was looking for classically European Medieval music when I saw this CD, and I'm delighted I gave it a chance. While far from the late Medieval chansons, ballades and courtly fare I was expecting, this is a New Age interpetation of the Medieval roots of Russian, Eastern European and Central Asian music. Irina's lovely voice and often her musical interpetations owe much to Enya or Loreena McKennitt on occasion, but this talented lady may just be finding her own unique style. Her approach is similar to Enya's in that she weaves a tapestry with her voice, of another time and place, but one that is a magical blend of Russian and Oriental influences. Imagine a lovely sorceress arriving mysteriously by a lonely campfire on a windswept plain of Central Asia during the Middle Ages, and enchanting her listeners with her haunting voice and music......

Wonderful work from a very gifted artist. Magnificent, magical in the best sense of the term, this album is radiant with evocative imagery and emotion, often soothing, never boring, sensual, with exquisite tones and interwoven cultural aspects make this a treat not to be missed, especially for such a low price. So very glad I found it!
