CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Inspired by her travels to Asia, Suzanne Ciani returns with her 11th release and a collection of lilting, sentimental originals. The title track, "Turning," is a catchy, ethereal piece somewhere between a Madonna ballad and an Enya song as sung by Chyi-Yu. The rest of the album uses mostly acoustic tools to create a fine fabric of lyrical music that's akin to Secret Garden and Jim Brickman. At times Ciani recalls the soul of the Paul Winter Consort with oboe, flute, and fretless bass daintily jamming in swirling trade winds of improvisation. Another enchantingly tender offering from this New Age master. --Karen Karleski Similarly Requested CDs

CD Reviews"Turning and swirling and whirling 'round you again" Marc Ruby? | Warren, MI USA | 07/20/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "'Turning' was a 1999 Grammy Award nominee for best new age album, and deservedly so. Featuring Ciani's work in combination with a rather stellar cast (Paul McCandless from the group Oregon, Matt Eakle from the David Grisman Quartet, Michael Manring on bass, guitarist Teja Bell, violinist Steve Kindler, and cellist Joe Hébert. ?Most musicians would give their eyeteeth to have that kind of support, and the interplay between the musicians is only slightly short of spectacular (try 'If I Could' for starters). This isn't Ciani's first album with this group ('Suzanne Ciani And The Wave Live!' came out in 1997) and they are clearly at ease with each other (listen to 'Yang Ming Shen'). There is one first on this album - Ciani's first song. 'Turning' is performed by Chyi-yu, a well-known Asian singer. It is a simple, romantic song with an endearing melody. Catchy enough that it is also presented as an instrumental in another cut. In a strange way it reminds me of a new age 'Greensleeves,' but it definitely works. I could go one for quite a while - there are no bad tracks here. This is the first time I've encountered Ciani's music in ensemble and I'm genuinely impressed. Just as I was unexpectedly delighted by her ability on acoustic piano. Ciani really is talented, she has plenty of professional recognition, but has not always enjoys the popularity of some of her peers. 'Turning' is one of the albums she has ever done." Whimsical and poetic M. E. Gallant | Maine | 04/07/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "I have all of her CD's and enjoyed this one immensely. She is classic and elegant with soft whimsical and lyrical melodies that you catch yourself humming after the music is done. It is relaxing and calming. I enjoyed this CD and felt her music is maturing and improving"
