NEW CD "LILY
2008-02-14 00:25:56
The Australien well known trio CARISMA just released their new CD "Lily's Eyes" for
which I have written two new pieces for flute, cello and harp.
Other composers include James Horner, Chick Coreo, Johann Pachelbel and many
other from around the world. The CD is produced by Australiens biggest classical
radio station ABC Classic.
Here are some other informations about the CD:
Following on from the success of their debut album Whispers, carisma, a unique and
innovative Brisbane based trio of flute, harp and cello are delighted to release their
second album Lily’s Eyes on ABC Atmospheres. ABC Atmospheres is a sub-label of
ABC Classics dedicated to sublime ambient music drawing on world, electronic, jazz
and classical styles.
This CD is another display of carisma’s musical philosophy. They make music to
move, inspire, uplift and compel their audience – to delight them and take them to
new places of the heart. Hearing the music of carisma is like receiving a sensory
awakening: an inspirational gift for the soul.
Lily’s Eyes is an album of gentle, soothing music celebrating the wonder of the
world as seen through the eyes of a child. Melodies from Spain, Japan, Java and
Africa are gathered together with new pieces by Australian and international
composers, especially composed for the exquisitely beautiful tones of flute, harp
and cello.
