"-A truly lovely compilation of work that goes so well with a glass of something nice to create the atmosphere of a perfect afternoon or evening. This has become one of my favorite C.D.s for casual listening to relax and de-stress over coffee or tea in the early evening. The combination of sweetness and depth of the performance is really stunning, and makes repeat listening sincerely enjoyable."

"This collection of short favorites combines the oboe and harp in a stunning performance. Peter Cooper has the most beautiful oboe sound you'll ever hear. Lyrical, passionate, musically sensitive. True artists at work, and a joy to hear."
Lyrical, musical, absolutely LOVE it!

"This CD was recommended by a friend of mine who had read great things about the artist in one of his chat rooms. So I bought it, and can't wait until another CD comes out from Mr. Cooper! The musical selections are really beautiful, and a bit eclectic, and he plays each one with a different, singing, style. The harpist is really fabulous, too. I didn't realize that the oboe could such a pleasing instrument. I've been listening to the CD every night when I get home - it relaxes me, and my 9 month old really loves it, too."
Soothing Array of Oboe/Harp Sounds/Moods

"Well done performance with wide array of types/styles.From excellent baroque of Bach and Marais to romantic of Aure, Ravel, Strauss to the unusual Chinese and Jewish folk, this is a pleasing variety to the ear.Principal oboist Cooper of Colorado Symphony has rich, dark sound with excellent phrasing. This is well supported by lush harpist Labella. She is magnificent on Wiegenlied by Strauss as she performs whole string section part.Well worth the purchase and replay."
This IS THE BEST!

"I can't beleive it. Here I am, denying to myself that I don't like classical music, when I hear this CD. Oh my gosh! It is sooooo wonderful. It's so enchanting. I'm going to buy this right now..."
