Search - Peter Davison :: Adagio-Classical Music for Yoga

This collection of tranquil selections of classical music from flutist Peter Davison and pianist Scott Hiltzik makes for familiar and soothing sounds by which to engage in yoga postures. We hear mostly from Ravel, Debussy, and Bach with some of their most recognizable works: "Pavane," "Arabesque," and "Siciliano," respectively. Davison and Hiltzik's renditions are soft and dreamy, forming a serene backdrop for the slow art of yoga stretching. Davison's originals--though lacking in the timeless melodies of great composers--are lovely, too, fitting well with the melancholy repertoire. With quiet classical standards played by a small, relaxed ensemble, this isn't a CD that will shake up the world, but it does succeed in centering the soul. --Karen K. Hugg
