STEREOPHILE R2D4:
Andreas Vollenweider
CAVERNA MAGICA -
CBS 37827 –
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!
A mesmerizing album, full of wondrous sounds created electronically by harpist Vollenweider.
As a STEREOPHILE magazine reviewer stated about this album:
"…for me, from the opening soundscape as two aural adventurers enter the cave to find dripping water setting up the opening riff, to the album's conclusion as they dive into the pool they find there, I am impressed by the sense of majesty to the soundstage, the music driven along by the restrained, fuzzed purr of the bass strings of Vollenweider's electric harp and accentuated by almost fetishist sonic seasonings. (The height of sensuality, I feel, would be to listen to this album while a musically aware houri brushed your naked arm with a fur glove.) If the "best" music depends on the manner in which the musicians play the spaces between the notes, then Vollenweider's arrangements and performances qualify for that adjective."
Among STEREOPHILE's recommended "Records2Die4," this copy has a jacket without major fault; record inside will play near mint. A musical journey, to be sure.

Shipping and handling is $5 for up to 5 LPs shipped within the States. Internationally, $15 via airmail for the first LP, $3 each thereafter. (Canada is half that.) Boxes over 4 lbs., add another $6, because First Class is no longer available at that weight, just Priority Mail. Note, too, boxed sets of LPs require more postage.
