Tame even by Govi's standards, Seventh Heaven is a pleasant dinner-party assortment of lightweight, flamenco-tinged instrumentals for acoustic guitar and small ensemble. A capable player and an agreeable composer, Govi has always resided at the softer end of the nouveau (read: smooth) flamenco continuum, only occasionally striking the sort of sparks associated with more ambitious players such as Jesse Cook, Oscar Lopez, or Ottmar Liebert. Instead, Govi targets the easy-listening crowd, and, in that context, serves up a fitting assortment of light-on-the-ear tunes that feature modest Latin and Spanish accents. Polite and cleanly played, Seventh Heaven may be a bit too gentle for some listeners, though others will find it goes very nicely with a good book and a Chardonnay. If pretty, Anglicized guitar music with a more pronounced flamenco influence is your preference, you would do well to investigate the Johannes Linstead album, Kiss the Earth. --Terry Wood

Product Description

A refined collection of flamenco-styled classical guitar in Govi's familiar style. Seventh Heaven is an ideal soundtrack for sitting on the veranda, overlooking the coffee bean fields and sipping a fine dry wine -- or maybe just adding a little class to some re-heated Mexican food in your cramped apartment. The smooth, soft guitar work from this California-based musician has sold millions of albums and offers a perfect backdrop for a relaxing evening. ~ Zac Johnson, All Music Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars ...another winner by Govi..., August 27, 2000

If you enjoy great "new age" guitar music with style and rhythm without it becoming annoying or obtrusive Govi is the artist. This newest cd is no exception to Govi's talent, the man is gifted in making great music. Seventh Heaven follows in the tradition of previous releases Andalusian Nights and Passion & Grace which are excellent also! (there is no such thing as a bad Govi cd) Uplifting and soothing at the same time, this music is always a joy....

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful music from heaven!, September 14, 2000

This review is from: Seventh Heaven (Audio CD)

I love Govi's music style and this CD is no exception. I was hooked right from the first song "Rising in Love" and never touched the FORWARD button on the CD player. It's a fine combination of rhythm/melody/percursion that makes this CD another winner. Other outstanding songs are Havana Sunset, Language of the Heart, Garden of Eden and Gypsy Heaven. You might also want to own his other CDs like "Passion & Grace" and "Guitar Odysey", those are fine Govi's work in my opinion.

Govi has a style and talent that anyone can like. This one and Guitar Odyssey are my favorites although I have not heard every Govi album. Govi is great to have on while studying, reading, or just relaxing after hard work. Enjoy!
