5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite CD without lyrics, September 15, 1999

A good friend of mine made a taped recording of this CD for a long drive up the coast. Once it was in my player I didn't remove it all the way from Washington to California. Now I own the CD myself and make sure any of my friends who love soothing music hear it.

Almost everything here is above average,and the dreamy,moody feel to the album will ensure repeated listenings."Prelude from the bridal suite" is outstanding."No city lights" by James Gordon captures a palpable sense of foreboding and loneliness."The handing down" has a soft,alluring melancholy."Cheyene" is o.k as is "Night Crossing".Classical composer Andrew York makes an appearence with a good piece in "Andecy".The best tune of the disc may be "The silver plume waltz" by Bill Mize.It has a sly tenderness that is undeniable.This is a compilation with great attention paid to atmosphere.It is an album for reflection,meditation or just listening to top notch compositions played with consummate skill.This sampler came out in 1988.I came across it in 1998, and I still pull it out every few weeks and give it another listen.Highly recommended.

I am a big fan of solo guitar recordings and study the artform myself. This recording literally sets the standard for all other samplers & compilations I have bought since my purchase of this recording over 10 years ago. Beautiful arrangements and OUTSTANDING recording quality! You will be pleased with this purchase...
