I found that while some of the tracks (including the title track Lonely Shepherd) were really excellent, others bordered on elevator music. In my opinion, Zamfir is best when he plays by himself, rather than backed by schmaltzy orchestra music on covers of broadway songs. Nevertheless, I'm still glad I got the album for the tracks I do like -- I can always skip the others.

If you are young or old, you are sure to enjoy this album. The title Track, "Lonely Shepherd" is just the begining. Excellent music for driving or anytime.

I was once a punk rocker. I listened to the Sex Pistols, Ramones, Black Flag, and The Dead Kennedys. I have a string of gigs under my belt with various punk bands, a long list of one night stands with rocker chicks, and did enough drugs to make Keith Richards OD. All that changed the night I listened to Zamfir.

Alone in my apartment I played this CD while cleaning a puke staine off my carpet. I don't know whose it was, but I'd like to thank him because it led me to my new life. I have since thrown away my guitars, amps, and entire music collection. It is all garbage by comparison to this and in the trash is where it all belongs.

How can anyone listen to 'Summer of 42' and not fall to their knees by the sheer beauty of it? The Lonely Shepard title track brings tears to my eyes everytime I listen to it. It brings me to a magical place where no one gets arrested for shoplifting and everyone has peace in their hearts.

I cannot find a panflute at the music store, so I'm trying to make one out of PVC pipe and old bongs. I think I found the G, A, and D major chords, but can't quite find F. A silly straw with a slit in it can make a pretty decent B minor, but it stretches out after a couple of days.

All my friends have abandoned me and I haven't been with a woman in three months, but it is all worth it. I now happily skip through life with merriment in my heart. No more drugs for me, Zamfir is my natural high.

Before hearing the Zamfir, I was getting kind of deep into heavy metal. I found the pan flute to be quite the bad... instrument, and one that I can relate to much more than the ordinary/dull sound of an electric guitar.

I fell in love with the pan flute music, and Zamfir has really proved his skill and talent in this album,,,its a great CD

I grew up listening to Zamfir's pan flute soothing music, then for the past 15 years, I've been away from it until I heard The Lonely Shepherd while watching Kill Bill. I was pleasantly surprised to find the CD at Amazon and bought it at once. Many of the other songs on this CD are good as well, but nothing beats The Lonely Shepherd.

This music is hauntinly beautiful. Listening to it is very peacful.
I think it is one of his best CDs

Today's stressful world requires one to seek refuge. if you like music and the out of norm smooth sound of this instrument, this will do it. Often I listen to this and other CDs I have of ZAMFIR. I first heard this " The Lonely Shepard" as background music for video of the natural beauty of our world. It was a perfect match and got to me. I researched it and found it's source. Since, I have used the CDs extensively while I roam the internet or read a book.

I'm 100% satisfied, product arrived in great condition as advised and delivery time was ok.

I absolutly love this CD. My friend and I paint together and I put the Bose player on repeat/random and it plays over and over. It is so peaceful.
The birds even love it and sing in the trees out back when I set it in the windowsil in my kitchen.
I have owned the Romance CDs as well, first on tape and now on CD.
Zamfir is a true artist and I agree with the positive reviews that I have just read here. Nancy Neilson
