CD WHITE STONES

Description

'White Stones' is the second album by the duo Secret Garden, released on April 21, 1997. This album blends Celtic and neo-classical influences, incorporating unexpected elements like Spanish guitars and Eastern European folk melodies. Norwegian pianist Rolf Løvland composes striking instrumental pieces, with violinist Fionnuala Sherry providing the lead voice. Each track features lavish orchestral arrangements, with Sherry's violin speaking loudest and touching the heart most tenderly. The overall mood of the album is weighty and heart-centered, offering support for personal reflection. The beautiful melancholia lifts in tracks like 'Windancer' and 'Escape,' evoking images of Gypsy caravans and circus performers in full swing.
