Seasons

by Galway,James

Overview

Another classical crossover hit from master flutist James Galway. Seasons is a compilation of relaxing, soothing music with a slant toward nature. From Irish folk tunes to Broadway hits to centuries-old Japanese melodies, this is a reflective collection to make you relax. The music includes slow movements from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" and duets with Irish recording stars The Chieftains and harpist Emily Mitchell. ~ MusD
