Product Description:
U.S. Premiere Recording! Grammy®-winning performer and composer Andreas Vollenweider and his father, renowned organist Hans
Vollenweider, collaborate on an album never before released outside of Switzerland.

Recorded between 1979 and 1989, Traumgarten represents the work of several years and is a unique document of a very special relationship the one between father and son: an encounter on the bridge that is music. As Andreas Vollenweider explains so touchingly in his liner notes, it was by playing music together, sometimes improvising for hours, that the two musicians became much closer. So, in addition to being a collaborative album in the more traditional sense, Traumgarten is also intrinsically a very personal and transcendent musical dialogue, culminating in a powerful work of music.

Traumgarten has been digitally remastered for this release, and contains detailed liner notes and family photos provided by the composer.

- WONDERFUL
Here we get a sampling of the unique musical relationship between Hans and Andreas Vollenweider, and the way Hans nurtured Andreas' talent. The music is all improvised, not formally organized compositions, and there is great beauty in it. As always, Andreas plays a variety of instruments. Although he grew up with a piano, it apparently is not his favorite instrument, since he doesn't play it often on recordings... but his lucidity at the keyboard heard in one improvisation here is phenomenal. He never ceases to amaze me, and it's fascinating to hear how his music developed through these musical conversations with his father.

- An interesting Compilation
This album is an interesting intersection between Andreas and his father. The free flowing musical style of Andreas is contrasted against his fathers classical, more rigid background. I wouldn't rate this as my favorite but it is good.

- STOP!!!!
As a rabid Andreas Vollenweider fan, I was thrilled to see a CD that I had not yet experienced. So, I ordered it without previewing and without hesitation. Don't bother. I cannot for the life of me describe it as anything more than seriously sel-indulgent. I kept listening for melody, for the beautiful riffs and was very disappointed because they never came.
So, just keep playing the earlier CD's you have and pass this one up in hopes that he gets this "phase" out of his system.
