Review

"Gary Schnitzer’s violin is amazing. It will drop jaws. It will turn heads. But in a subtle way...." --Editor, Smother.net

Product Description

Lush instrumental arrangements of favorite love songs and ballads and movie themes, featuring the passionate violin of Gary Schnitzer and his ensemble. Rich lyrical violin supported by silken piano tones, rich double bass, and soft percussion. Let us bring you (and yours) to another place with sultry renderings of some of the most beautiful love songs of all time. If dark, rich chocolate could sing, you would hear the resounding tones of "Rhapsody". The perfect gift for Valentine’s Day or for no reason at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably Romantic, January 6, 2002

This review is from: Rhapsody (Audio CD)

I like to buy romantic CD's to listen and help me do creative writing as well listen to with a special woman in my life. This particular CD, Rhapsody, contains some of the most enchanting, romantic music on one CD I have ever heard. You will recognize so many of the melodies. The artist, Gary Schnitzer, plays the violin with such passion which comes across on the CD, you'd almost swear he is playing live before you. This is a must buy for the true romantic.

5.0 out of 5 stars fan letter, June 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Rhapsody (Audio CD)

The following is an unsolicited fan letter to the artist regarding the CD, "Rhapsody":

Gary, Sorry this is SO long of an entry, but I always wanted to tell you about my experience with Rhapsody...

Back in March of 97, I was in the Dallas Galleria in a Shakespeare's bookstore, and in a rather heartbroken mood...As I was looking around at the books, your Rhapsody CD was apparently playing the background (for promotional purposes I assume) and I fell head over heels in love with it and stayed for the whole CD to finish playing.

I probably spent an hour in there just listening to the whole CD. I bought a book, and left the store...and I could still hear the beautiful music in the background as I left. I instantly turned around and went back in and anxiously asked for a copy of Rhapsody. I just knew that I had to have it.

The music healed me of my pain, and I constantly listen to the CD every chance that I can because it makes me feel so in love. I used to play the violin in high school. I was always second chair, first violin and my best friend was always the concert mistress. I have since stopped playing..due to an unfortunate loss of my instrument.

Listening to your playing makes me yearn to become a violinist again. You really play with your soul, and select such beautiful pieces to play. Everytime I listen to "Somewhere in Time", I am always on the verge of tears because it sounds so sad and emotional.....

Once again, you're a brilliantly gifted violinist and keep up the beautiful work! Most Sincerely... Rosalyn

Some of the best voilin music I've heard. His rendition of Somewhere Over the Rainbow brings tears to my eyes. Deeply emotional album that pulls at your heart strings.
