CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Cellist David Darling, well known for his poetry/cello CD, The Tao of Cello, enlists a group of fine musicians here for an introspective album whose 18-minute compositions slowly unfold in circular rhythms and pensive grooves. It's an utterly successful ensemble, with John Marshall on drums and percussion and Darius Kauffman on flutes and whistles. Pieces where acoustic instruments such as guitar and flute are the centerpiece work better here. "Dream Pearls of Kathak" is a chamber work whose contemplative expressionism unwinds like a river, with sparse instrumentation steadily giving way to more complexity and sound. The low booming drum of "Irish Miles" is enough to center any stressed soul, and along with Darling's signature moody cello leads the ensemble in a grounding, beautiful melody. This is the sort of CD that's just melancholy enough for rainy days and soothing enough for yoga or massage. In other words, perfectly Balanced. --Karen K. Hugg Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsGreat for meditation, yoga and general relaxation.... Lawrence Ryan | 03/01/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "Once again David Darling has produced a work of extraordinary quality. This CD is wonderful for use while meditating, getting a massage and yoga. Anyone who wants to relax and refresh would enjoy listening. I especially enjoyed the flute portions which were full and rich and very heart opening." Soothing, Restful, Absorbing. Lawrence Ryan | Kansas City, Missouri United States | 03/01/2002 (5 out of 5 stars) "I have been collecting David Darling music since only last summer........"Balance" was the first one I bought, and then "Intune"........I have to say, I have not stopped listening to these Cd's for 7 months.....of course there are others, but I keep coming back to several of the songs....From "Balance" there is "Lady Child's Dream" and Bach's Persia" each song plays over 18 minutes.Since David Darling is a Cellist, you'd think all you would hear is a Cello playing, but not with Both "Musical Message" Cd's. Simply some of the most Beautiful piano music put to Cd on "Lady Child's Dream".I recommend very highly all of David's Music..... The Advantage to these two cd's is that fact that there are only four songs to each Cd......Four songs...each ranging from 15 minutes to 18 plus minutes. Allowing you to absorb its atmospheric charm. Many people buy such music for various reasons. Personaly.....I listen to his music as a departure from the other music I listen to.....I love Rock music...and I have found myself listening to David's sometimes more than anything else I own.Other Darling Music to check out...."Cello"..."Cello Blue"..... "Epigraphs".....and "8 String Religion"." Just beautiful and excellent Goddess Orchid | USA | 04/15/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD has only 4 songs but each about 18 minutes EACH! Soft, relaxing, soothing, and simply blissful. I particularly like track #3 oh I cannot explain...almost hypnotic. You will truly enjoy this CD. A great way to just relax before or after a nice hot bath, during a massage, or simply reading a book. I recommend this CD for couples enjoying a wonderful intimate moment. I haven't gotten tired of it yet."
