Just finished listening to "Solitude" by David Arkenstone, released by NEO Pacifica Recordings.
I discovered David Arkenstone and his music back in 1992 when I noticed an add for his latest release - back then - "In The Wake of the Wind." It was the first CD that I had bought - on a side note, "Brigadoon" was the first DVD I bought - and at the time I had to buy a boombox that had a CD player to listen to it. On another side not, that boombox lasted nearly 30 years before the CD player in it finally conked out - note to Zack, I said conked.
Another side note: While CDs and DVDs are supposed to have a "shelf life" of 10 years - "In The Wake of the Wind" still plays with the same level of quality from the day I first broke up the shrink wrap.
Arkenstone collaborated with the Project CSQ - a string quartet who features fiddle, violin, viola, and cello - while he played the piano and provided the sound textures.
With "Solitude," Arkenstone brings the reflective, contemplative mood that a winter's day can bring.
My favorite tracks are: "Mare Tranquillitatis," "The Cerulean Frost," "Waiting For The Moon," "Ripples In Time," "Lament of the Ice Giants," and "The Silence of Snow."
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
