Rating:  - Their best workThe album contains some of the most moving and wonderful music the Ahn Trio have ever preformed. It's classic Ahn, soothing yet intricate melodies, with new elements that take the music to the next level. Even the songs from their previous albums ( Oblivion and This is not America, for two) feel new and sound great. Rating:  - Perfect with a glass of wine on a stay at home dayI've enjoyed listening to the CD so far. It makes me wish for a winter day, sitting on my couch in front of a fire, with a nice glass of wine and a great book and this music in the background. I grew up listening to a lot of classical, and it's refreshing to have the "classical" sound without simply another group rehashing the same old melodies. Don't get me wrong, I love Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. but I don't always want to hear them. This is a good alternative, and the extra flourishes and addition of vocals on a couple of the tracks kept me intrigued throughout my first listening. Rating:  - New Age MusicHere's a tip for you: if someone feels it necessary to say certain music is not New Age, you can be pretty sure it is. This is pleasant, anesthetic, soporific background music. Listen to the samples carefully before you buy. Rating: - Beautiful MusicI stumbled over this CD when I was looking for relaxing music to help me sleep. The title drew me in. For the most part, I love the music. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that I wasn't too crazy for the non-instrumental songs. Rating: - AHN TRIO CONTINUE TO MAKE SOME OF THE BEST CONTEMPORARY CLASSICAL MUSICAHN TRIO LULLABY FOR MY FAVORITE INSOMNIAC The Ahn Trio is comprised of three sisters born in Korea and educated in the U.S.A. at the prestigious Juilliard School. They play piano, violin and cello and their deep-roots in the classical tradition are clearly evident. But consistent with their last two albums, their fifth CD, Lullaby for my Favorite Insomniac (Sony-BMG-RCA), finds them playing everything but traditional classical repertoire. They try their hand at "My Funny Valentine," David Bowie's "This Is Not America," a Brazilian number, a couple of folk songs, and several film themes. In addition, the Ahn Trio is joined by folk singers, DJ-beat-masters, Czech musicians and even a Korean rapper. The Ahn Trio's instruments stay in the forefront on the first dozen songs, but fade a bit into the background on the four bonus tunes which are remixes of four of the first selections using club beats and grooves. Several of these compositions were covered by the Ahn Trio on previous albums (these are different versions, however). The first three-fourths of the CD comes across (as the title suggests) as a recording of lullabyes and softer songs for dreaming, loving and relaxing, so be prepared the first time the bonus tracks come on because they are much more beat-oriented. The Ahn Trio must be commended for their continued experimentation. They bring a lot excitement to classical music, which can use some shaking up from time to time. Whether you call it neo-classical, contemporary classical, classical crossover or modern classical, this is some of the best, most refreshing and most invigorating out there. |
