"This is, to put it simply, one of the most
beautiful records I have ever listened to. This album stands outside
of almost every recognized category of style or taste... and rather
than making it an obscure niche work, instead this makes it universal." Paul Kienitz - Oakland, CA
"This is an AMAZING CD! I bought it for the
song Anna which is featured on a Sex and The City episode. When I listened
to the rest of the CD, I couldn't believe what I heard. It's wonderful,
soothing and hypnotizing! Everyone in my office LOVES it and let me
play it loud so that everyone can hear. Thanks again! It's a fantastic
CD!!" Paula Engle - Pueblo, CO
Spinning World: 13 Ways
of Looking at a Waltz
Are you looking for that song from Sex and the City...
The one played at the end of the episode La
Douleur Exquise - season 2-24.? The song they play when Carrie
realizes she and Big are over? It's called Anna,
and it's just one of many tunes from Spinning World: 13 Ways of Looking
at a Waltz that were heard throughout the 2nd season of Sex and the
City. Selections from this CD have also been featured many times on
NPR's All Things Considered, Morning Edition, and This
American Life - and in the Marisa Tomei film
Just a Kiss.
Rainy-day listening, candle-light dancing...
The
music is lyric, tempestuous, drunken, sad, always soul-stirring and
goose-bump good. Who said
a waltz has to be in 3/4 time? Some of THESE waltzes are in 5/4. And
if you're hoping for tradition, there's one waltz that would make Johann
Strauss sit up and wave his baton again. Dancers rejoice, for here is
music you can twirl to all night long.
What does Spinning World sound like?
Imagine Rufus Wainwright
and Randy Newman sitting down to
write a movie soundtrack for Yo-Yo Ma
and Cirque du Soleil in 1917, and
you're getting close. It's beyondnew age, it's modern but old fashioned at the
same time. Listen for yourself.
"This
hearkens back to a time when music was uplifting and spiritual. With
so many artists stumbling over their feet attempting to recreate music
from the past (and failing miserably), this disc stands out from the
crowd. Aesthetically and sonically delightful." Babysue
