Deep Within a Faerie Forest has some of the most enchanting music I've ever encountered. The Faerie legends held in this music are beautiful, made more so by the chosen instruments and the powerful voice of Wendy Rule. For those who love Celtic or World music, or everything Fae, this CD is highly recommended.
(Note: The booklet is essential, it has all the lyrics!)

Brilliant.

"This is the most "Gothic" or "dark" sounding album of Stadler's. I'm not familliar with Rule's other work, but this disk is my favourite of the Faerie series. It's absolutely gorgeous, with transcendental musick and divine near-operetic aethereal vocals atop. She does sound like a Fae queen. I would recommend this to anyone who embraces the more dark side of Fae; someone big on introspection and meditation. This is a great release.. thanks you guys for such a gift.

Enchanting & Exquisite

"I am in love with Gary Stadler's new release "Deep Within a Faerie Forest". It is absolutely magical and Wendy Rule's voice is nothing less than enchanting. I had never heard her music before but now am beginning to explore that more deeply as well. These are Gary Stadler's very best songs in my opinion and this record really transcends even the amazing Fairy-themed releases he has put out previously. Exquisitely beautiful."
Deep Within is Exquisitely Enchanting

"This is definitely my absolute favorite of Gary Stadler's CD's. This latest collaboration with bewitching vocalist Wendy Rule takes Gary's enchanting music into a whole new dimension, a somewhat darker place within the mystical Fairie realms. Gary Stadler has made some incredible music over the last decade with some pretty spectacular female vocalists including the late Singh Kaur on the dreamy Fairy Night Songs and Stephannie on the magically inspired Fairy Heart Magic (my favorite until this one). But Deep Within A Faerie Forest is more hauntingly beautiful and more deeply moving and stirring than his previous releases. Rule's vocals are sensuous, lush and quivering with a fantastic intensity while still remaining diaphanously radiant and pure and the lyrics are just extraordinary. And Gary's piano work combined with Lisa Lynne's harp has never sounded better. Each song possesses a unique quality, like individual fairytales woven into a sparkling magical veil, each with it's own distinct feeling, taking you deeper into the mythic. "Midwinter" is my very favorite with lyrics that just want to make me run into the forest and never return. Thank you Gary Stadler for making the Faerie realms more and more real with each new album. Ooops ! Are those wings coming out of my shoulders ! Magick Happens !"
ANOTHER GREAT ALBUM!

"Another lovely addition to Gary Stadler's fairy albums. He has joined with another enthralling female vocalist to produce very soothing songs and a magical mood throughout!!"
The fairies are closer than ever now

"Beautiful, magical album that really sends my consciousness to dance with fairies and gets me dreaming of living in a green woods with lovely people around. For the one who was blaming the album I would say that you yourself are a freak, because your senses are so dull that you can't feel this magic anymore. And if you ask enlightened people, they say that fairies exist, but only in the right side of a brain... So only your feminine, intuitive part can see the fairies, and ghosts and other spirits that co-exist in another dimension parallel to our own. Small children can also see them. But if you live too much in your head you can't feel any of these things...
The artists in this records sure have experienced themselves and they share it in such a beautiful way that brings tears of gratitude to my eyes. So maximum respect to them!"
