J-Sin, Editor, Smother.net February 2006
Gary’s violin skills are without a doubt unparalleled. On "Melodia" he composes compassionate relaxing pieces that are symphonic in scope.
Product Description
An instrumental recording of richly expressive music with a compelling symphonic sound, featuring Gary's solo violin soaring above and below the harmonies and rhythms.
“’Melodia’, to me, evokes a land or a world of melodies, where each melody is a passport to a different place or experience.” says Gary Schnitzer.
Rich with expression, each track on Melodia depicts a unique vignette of a special place and experience. "Appalachia" brings you to the mountains, yet has the warmth and soul of a hymn. "Ice Lake" evokes the mysterious, yet majestic beauty of an expansive winter landscape. "Salute to the Torchbearer" evokes the classic beauty and nobility of the Statue of Liberty. "Merry Go Round Waltz" returns you to the innocence and joy of childhood. "Midnight Prayer" is the soul's lyric call to the mystery of the night, yearning to soar beyond it's boundaries.....
This CD is Gary Schnitzer's first CD of all original music. His first six CD's are lush and elegant musical arrangements of popular romantic melodies, featuring the solo violin as "torch" singer accompanied by an instrumental ensemble. "Melodia" has a much larger symphonic sound, though Gary's violin solos still play the starring role.
Melodia is a full 54 minutes and 14 seconds long. Long enough to take your spirit on an enchanting carpet ride though a full range of feeling.

As a musician myself, I would highly recommend this album to anyone who wants to embark on an uplifting voyage. Comfortably curled up on a velvety Persian magic rug wouldn't adequately describe it.
The album is a magical tour de force that effortlessly whisks you to a whole new plane of sensations. For example, Out of the Darkness offers a promise of hope, an impending spring, blooming flora.
Gary's composition is a seamless amalgamation of different themes and genres (classical and contemporary). Every unique piece tells its own story. The music is so beguiling that I was hard pressed to pick my favorites. However, I particularly connnected with Out of the Darkness, Ice Lake, Last Waltz and Salute to the Torchbearer.
I got the CD five days ago, and have been playing it incessantly since. Household morale has never been higher :)
Bravo Gary!

Gary Schnitzer's "Melodia" is a wonderful recording. The man is a true viruoso on the violin who knows how to make his instrument sing. What sets this musical collection apart from Schnitzer's earlier projects is that he composed the music - every song on the CD. A gifted composer who has a real knack for writing a gorgeous melody, Schnitzer has produced some of the most beautiful contemporary Classical music on the market today. Evoking the sound of an epic film, this music provides the perfect setting for the solo violin.
