"Real Music" compilations represent the finest New Age recordings money can buy. Here, in this 1999 disc, 12 musicians create a 13 track CD that is, indeed, full of beauty. From Michael Hoppé's touching "Song for Sarah" to the now well known "Through the Arbor" by Kevin Kern, this disc represents the perfect way to spend a relaxing 50 minutes.

Highlights include Huw Warren's "Morea Bychan", Tim Wheater's "Seventh Ray" and Swiss group Back to Earth's "White Shadow".

A range of instruments are used within the disc, but all the tracks have that relaxing quality and feel to them.

As ever with Real Music recordings, the packaging is first class and the sound quality top-notch.

An excellent disc showcasing some of the finest New Age musicians. Highly recommended.

Touching Beauty has become my new partner in my fight for staying alive.I have been spending alot of time in bed listening to these beautiful melodies.It envelopes one in a sea of tranquility while undergoing cancer treatments. All of the pieces on this CD are exquisite,I especially would like to comment on the artist HIKO for his beautiful compostion "Unspoken Words" his music stands out and allows me to feel many emotions and peace within myself.He is very talented and I would like to see and hear more on this artist.

The most soothing music I have ever heard has come from Hiko. His arrangement on this CD is no exception. He and other artists have outdone themselves on this CD. I will continue to recommend this to friends and family, along with my favorite (Hiko - First Embrace) Truly an uplifting experience!!

I want to comment on this album which I have find very beautiful and inspirational.The record company has done an excellent job in choosing their collection of arists and their music. I happened to see Hiko, one of the artists perform and promote this album in a local music store in my area.I was very moved and inspired upon hearing his beautiful,soul searching,and at times haunting melodies.I wish them all much success and many more recordings to come. BRAVO,Hiko!

This is one of the most outstanding CD's I have purchased. The compositions are moving and take one to another place. Most significant is the composition by the artist HIKO. His sweeping melody is most appreciated by my patients who have said that this piece has particularly moved them in that it is filled with warmth and brightness. I am searching for more music by this artist but have yet to find other releases by the label.

The whole CD is a welcome addition to this genre of music. I am pleased to see some new artists on a CD with with veteran artist such as Wheater

I found HIKOS' music to be the "hull" of the whole CD and the words "Touching Beauty" to describe what his music is. It reaches inside your soul to inspire true love and thoughtfulness. He seems to have a spirit that goes from his soul into the listeners'. I own this CD and have ordered the next two since I live in the central states. I cannot wait until his music is more accessible to the rest of the world. I know he is one of the new up and coming artists, but his talent and the heart he puts into his beautiful music should be and I hope will be known world wide soon. He is a very gifted artist and I wish him all the best. I can't wait until I have his next CD. Thank you, Sharon Plonka

Soothing, soft, relaxing, pleasant. A sound the mellows you. Allows you to calm down, relax, enjoy. Music that floats gently over you, enveloping you without suffocating you.

The music on this Touching Beauty CD is the most amazingly soothing I have ever heard. What satisfaction in listening over and over again to it.

Unspoken words moved my spirit and was soothing to my soul. I believe Hiko has tapped a deep connection that has helped me to experience the energy that passes from my head to my heart to my gut in a new and more synchronized way. Thank You, HIKO peace, Peter G.

I originally purchased this for relaxation, but this collection brings much more - compositions by Hiko made my heart and mind soar! "Alive" "free" "joyous" "love" - Just a few of the emotions that Hiko's music triggers and evokes...This is music that is as equally apt for a quiet evening, as for an exciting summer day. - For introspection and for sharing. For happiness and healing. Hiko crosses over the boundaries of "relaxing" music and forms a category of his own.
