I bought this CD for my daughter last year for Christmas - she is a cello player. I fell in love with it and decided that I wanted a copy for myself, so I could stop borrowing hers! Very peaceful music.

I bought this CD without knowing anything about the artist. I was drawn in by its title, and the instrument (I love the cello). I also collect music to "fall asleep by". This is the most beautiful music I've heard in a long time. Just beautiful, every song on it is just beautiful. I tried to find another one, but unfortunately the artist has not made another.

Wonderful! This cd is inspiring, soothing, and just plain beautiful. The cello is the focus of the music, with lovely accompaniment.
