5.0 out of 5 stars Superb CD. One of the best ever, August 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Silk Road Suite (Audio CD)
I love this CD. It combines the best of Kitaro's work with a full orchestra. The result is absolutely magnificent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnificent, November 15, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Silk Road Suite (Audio CD)
This is simply one of my favorite musical works of all time. The orchestration is magnificent. Something like this could easily have drifted into very cheesy territory indeed, but this is first class all the way. I still only have a vinyl copy and one not so good quality tape. It astounds me that this is not still available! I would buy a cd at a reasonable price (or even not so reasonable) in a heartbeat!

5.0 out of 5 stars It would be a tragedy if this album goes out of print, November 15, 2003
By Marsha B. Rupe (Albuquerque, New Mexico USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Silk Road Suite (Audio CD)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The magical best cd of Kitaro
In this CD Kitaro explodes the magical and misterious ways of the life. Songs like Peace or Bell Tower have the particularity of move our mind to another place.
