5.0 out of 5 stars This is a CD you can buy without hearing one note in advance, January 26, 2000

If you have any prior knowledge of the work these two masters have produced, it won't be possible for you to be disappointed in this recording. Even if you favor Freeman over Chaquico or vice versa, you will come to admire and thoroughly enjoy how these two blend their talents. To say they compliment one another may be an oversimplification of just how amazing they sound together. I bought this CD after hearing only the first few bars of the first track. You won't need to spend even that little bit of time deciding whether or not you want to add this to your collection. A fan of Chaquico, Freeman, or acoustic guitar in general--no matter which one you are, don't hesitate to buy this recording! Gentlemen, when is your next collaboration due in stores!

5.0 out of 5 stars DON'T STOP ! PLEASE !, July 3, 2000

I have some very enjoyable CD's, and this one is at the top of the list. I was stunned the first time I played it. This combination of guitar, piano, percussion, ...etc is as good as I have heard. Even after playing it over and over it is as fresh and enjoyable as the first time. The music is great at soft background levels for reading, studying, romance etc. Technically this CD is very well done. At "live event" volume levels and on a higher end system the sound stage is wide and deep. The clairty, focus, imaging and dynamics are more than enough to send waves of emotion all through your body. I hope Chaquico and Freeman do another one !

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful album., January 25, 2003

I bought this CD for the opening track, "Riders of the Ancient Winds", which I had frequently heard on the radio. Sometimes you buy a CD for the one track you've heard, and all the other ones turn out to be disappointing. This is definitely not the case here. There are so many terrific tracks, it's hard to say which is my favorite - they are almost all hauntingly beautiful, conjuring up a variety of moods and atmospheres. I love to put this CD on, close my eyes and drift away. "Seattle Child" evokes a brilliant summer day punctuated by rainshowers. "Change of Seasons" gives me a very powerful mental image of Pacific fog drifting over the redwoods of Marin County in late fall. I could go on describing my response to each track but you will probably have different images and moods. One thing's for sure, you will never grow tired of listening to this album.
