Editorial Reviews

World Fusion from Bird to Bach to Bhutan: Karpman's Emmy-winning scores for PBS' The Living Edens are an elegant blend of jazz, world, and classical music. Her work on this remarkable series about the world’s last unspoiled places has garnered her 4 Emmy awards from 7 nominations. This simply marvelous collection of tracks are as successful in the cinematic context as they are separately as a listening experience on their own.

Every time I put this one on someone asks, "What is that? It's great!" Truly mesmerizing music. It alternately mananges to soothe, enlighten, excite and challenge the listener. I highly recommend it. Definitely stands on its own apart from the wonderful series it was written for.

This CD is truely a revelation. I was transported all over the world while sitting in my living room chair when I placed this CD in my player. The musical styles are diverse but somehow Laura Karpman's music has a personal voice and forms a whole that is exciting to listen to over and over. I heard new things each time I played the CD again. I am looking forward to hearing more from this artist!

This cd is a classic in depth and new in approach. Laura karpman's
music is really unique, spanning diverse ethic and almost classical styles. I especially enjoyed the passion of "The Tempest" and the alsmost Vivaldi-like south georgia suite. Lots to listen to!
