5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Record Of The Year, May 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Seasons of the Soul (Audio CD)

I saw Lisa perform in Philadelphia in 1997, and I couldn't believe it when I found "Seasons of the Soul". I immediately bought two, one for myself and one for my best friend, who is undergoing cancer treatment. She listens to the entire CD every morning (I listen after work to remind myself of who I am after a stressful day). This is my favorite record of the year. Windham Hill should be commended for signing Lisa to their roster, and whoever made that happen is a GENIUS.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisitely beautiful and truly full of soul., April 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Seasons of the Soul (Audio CD)

I am honored to write a review on the beautiful Lisa Lynne's "Seasons of the Soul." When I purchased this CD I would have bought it for the name alone, but the enchantment that spilled forth from her music made my spirit want to dance with the soaring notes. Tranquil, playful, majestic, a dance with life, all exquisitely executed in musical form. Fortune was smiling on us the morning of the Kanapaha Spring Garden Festival as my husband and I experienced Lisa Lynne's music in person. We were eager to take home such enchantment and it was only as we were paying for the CD that Lisa Lynne came to us and shared that we had bought the very first copy of this new release. The depth of emotion with which this music is presented compells a response by even those whose souls have not yet awakened.

Lisa Lynne once again displays her strength and talent as a composer and arranger in her own right. This set of original compositions, two of which were co-written with flutist George Tortorelli, is warm and welcoming. The opening track, which is in fact entitled "Welcome", is a wonderful example of the modern use of "ostinato" - where a musical phrase or rhythm is repeated over and over, allowing other instrumentalists to improvise around it. In this case, the ground is a simple chord progression with a repeating series of runs on the harp, and the improvisers are the talented Tortorelli, with a lovely layering of flute and recorders, and Sid Page, with delicately whimisical descants on his violin. There's room you too, if you like! Just follow their lead, or harmonize along with the ground. Lynne's musical style, while retaining signature elements, varies from album to album. This recording is perhaps a bit jazzier than the others I've heard, and nicely so. Track #4, in fact, sounds like tip of the hat to Andreas Vollenweider. Joining Lynne, Tortorelli and Page on this album are cellist, bassist and co-producer Gil Morales, Michael Fisher on percussion, and Yussi on guitar. Lynne also plays mandolins and bozouki on many numbers. Other recent releases include "Maiden's Prayer", "Daughters of the Celtic Moon", and the wistful "Moonsongs". If you like the work of Lisa Lynne and friends, you may also enjoy that of harpist Thomas Loefke and his group Norland Wind.
