1 stars Here you have the choice between very "cheap" neo-classical pieces and boring new age excursions for TV commercials. The sound of the synthesiser chords which covers every track is just fully "artificial" and poor in term of sound projections. The music is at the pick of conventions; at its best it contains only vague imitations of "evangelic" or "church" like choirs. The music is supposed to touch the listener with gorgeous and heartbreaking melodies, however the sound is so "cheesy" (hearing the piano lines combined to synth in the last movement or this "terrible" fantasy, masquerade in "movement VII ) , commercially repressive and regressive that nothing happens frankly. This album looks like to these famous compilations you can find in stores in low prices to catch in a small time all the "essence" of medieval, Celtic or classical music...this is pure a reduction and an arrogant collection of common musical captures. Music for "elevator" or "superficial dramas"
