5.0 out of 5 stars Superb CD. One of the best ever, August 8, 1999

I love this CD. It combines the best of Kitaro's work with a full orchestra. The result is absolutely magnificent.

This is simply one of my favorite musical works. Something like this could easily have drifted into very cheesy territory indeed, but this is first class. I actually prefer this version to the original Silk Road albums. This well-done orchestral interpretation brings something extra out of the music. It's a lovely, enjoyable piece of music.

A friend played this album for me in 1991 -- on mint-condition vinyl -- and I was so stunned by the beauty of the music that I ran out and purchased a copy on CD, even though I had yet to purchase my first CD player. "Silk Road Suite" was an incredible improvement on the synthesiser-drive album "Silk Road" because it was recorded with the London Symphony Ochestra. I now own 11 Kitaro albums (and saw Kitaro live in 1999 in Albuquerque, New Mexico), and this remains my favorite. I listen to the back-to-back songs "Peace" and "Journey" to begin meditations. Whenever I play this CD at my office, people invitably ask, "Who is that?" and "Where can I get a copy?" It's too bad there are no longer song samples for this album. A good comparison might be the orchestration of "Kojiki," although "Silk Road Suite" is generally a gentler album. I plan on obtaining a second copy, for fear my single CD copy may develop a glitch and become unplayable.
