5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely beautiful -- Very highly recommended, December 27, 2001

This review is from: River to River Trail: The Hike Through Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois (Audio CD)

I attended graduate school in Southern Illinois, and while its been a number of years since I left behind the quite of my walks there, those memories spring to life as I listen to Zola Van's RIVER TO RIVER TRAIL: THE HIKE (through Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois). This evocative collection of piano solos recreates the pianist's journey through the Shawnee National Forest. Memories of ferns, flowers and wildlife will accompany listeners who journey through these marvelous piano solos.

Beginning with "Steps," the excitement of the beginning of the journey will include the listener in the pianist's exhilaration. Through the difficult terrain of High Knob, the wondrous beauty of the Garden of the Gods, whether accompanied by running water or the ancient echoes of history, each moment is uniquely captured in music. An awe of creation will accompany this listening experience evoking tears and joy, an appreciation of the magnificence of creation and a sense of wonder.

A series of eleven compositions, Zola Van's RIVER TO RIVER TRAIL: THE HIKE will appeal to outdoors lovers, classical piano fans, and new age fans alike. Indeed, this CD is both fiercely evocative and sensuously beautiful, resulting in a calming, healing experience for all listeners. Very highly recommended.

This review is from: River to River Trail: The Hike Through Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois (Audio CD)

Her music is very soothly, enlightening and enjoyable.

The "Rain at Ghost Dance Canyon Trail - Dixon Springs" song reminds me of days of listening to the rain. Very simple but very genuine.

I think I will purchase her CD.

This review is from: River to River Trail: The Hike Through Shawnee National Forest in Southern Illinois (Audio CD)

I think Zola Van is absolutely fantastic. Her compositions are so moving and inspiring. This is second CD that I own of her music. We live very close to the places she writes about and it is so easy to picture them in the mind while listening to her play
