  • Beautiful!
    author: jlh44music

    Wonderful arrangements and performances. Highly recommended!

  • Appreciative of the artistry
    author: mwhite

    The careful selection of very original pieces with gaelic/celtic flavor has created a masterpiece of easy listening and showcases the very precises, yet lilting, horn. It's better than easy listening -- it's soothing enchantment.

  • Outstanding!!!
    author: David

    This music is a great choice for a relaxing ending to some very busy and stressful days. While this reason alone makes this a very good choice, the experience quickly becomes far more enriching than just listening to "relaxing music". This music, in an amazing way, seems to bring everything into an infinitely deep harmony that is truly amazing!!! People walking, cars, trees blowing in the wind, stop lights (imagine that)....ANYTHING....it really seems to blend everything into a soothing harmony like....."it all just comes together". For a southern boy who likes country music, this was a very pleasant and enlightening experience!!!!

  • Spectacular!
    author: Kathy Grimes

    This CD is absolutely superb. Bryan produces nothing but excellence! We have all the other CD's that we thoroughly enjoy all year long. Our college son and older son's each have copies and love the music...soothing to a busy day! We are blessed to have Bryan playing and sharing his music.

  • FANTASTIC!!!! (whats left to say)
    author: J. W. "Tiny" Norris

    This CD is fantastic. As a horn player and a pianist this is a huge hit in my book. Both musicians have done an amazing job and the artwork is just beautiful. The horn is set masterfully set in these folk songs. Musicianship at its greatest, a truly wonderful CD, and a sure favorite to add to your CD library.

  • Magical......
    author: Cynthia Eaton - Napa Valley, CA

    A perfect blend of two of my favorite instruments! One word sums it up.... Excellent!!

  • Exquisite!
    author: Willa Shaffer

    What a brilliant idea it was to combine piano and French horn to create the exquisite music in this album! This is a rare and beautiful treat for even the most discerning classical music listener. Having had the privilege of hearing these two magnificent musicians in concert, I couldn't wait to add this CD to my collection and bought extras as gifts for folks I would never otherwise presume to purchase a CD. Can't wait to hear the reactions of the recipients! If you have a deep appreciation for music, this unique collection of Rowe compositions played more beautifully than you can imagine, is a must for your library.

  • We were so impressed that we shared it with Harrell & Jan Miller,who bought one.
    author: Frank White

    We thoroughly enjoyed the music. It was so relaxing and soothing. We decided to put it in our car so we could enjoy it more often.
