5.0 out of 5 stars If you love the ocean, you'll love this!, September 7, 2002

This is definitely "ocean music", at least to my ears. I can hear Suzanne Cianti's expression of her feeling for the depths and the breadth of the ocean, for the calm moments and for the stormy moments.

Calling this music "new-age" is confining it. Yes, it is new-age, and the pianist takes advantage of the freedom from classical form that the genre affords. But it goes beyond that, and many who generally have no interest in what they call "new age" may well enjoy this. This lady definitely has the classical knowledge and knows technically what she is doing, and the effect is, to me, breathtaking.

Each piece here has a definite individuality. (That's not always true in new age.) Such cuts as "Ondine", "Italia", "Hotel Luna", "Mozart", and "The Velocity of Love" stand out for me.

I always bear in mind that not everyone likes what I like. However, in this case, it seems to me that if you enjoy evocations of the sea; if you enjoy classically flavored new age; if you enjoy the piano played in a manner that ranges from the intimate to large scale; you will treasure this CD and, like me, consider buying some of her previous albums.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listener's Delight!!, October 21, 2003

If you love a cross between new age and light classical music, then this is the CD for you!! Suzanne does a outstanding job with her weaving of light synthesizers and piano and all tracks of this CD are a listener's delight! This CD is like finding a buried treasure that you didn't know existed, it's a MUST have for anyone who appreciates music to relax or set a special mood! Once you have heard this gem you will listen again and again and will want to have this in the car to relax when on a stressful commute, or to have at home to unwind after a long day. Suzanne's masterful blend of piano, synthesizers, and light percussions make this a treat for all to hear. Once you listen to this you will want to listen every chance you get!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great "Mood" music that isn't BORING, June 29, 2000

As far as "New Age" music goes, there is very little I find worthwhile. This album from keyboardist Suzanne Ciani is wonderful! A "best of" collection (with some new works), from Grammy Nominated Suzanne Ciani. Music from the heart inspired by the sea and the classics. Highly recommend for any fan of New Age or keyboard music.
