Yes, this is, as bogdanskyempire says, quite special. There are lots of reasons why it's special. It combines Balkan and Greek and various eastern and mediterranean sounds in a mesmerizing swirl. That's one reason. You can find the others yourself....and you'll be glad you did.
It's not like I've never experienced something like that by now,nevertheless this album is quite special:it's blend of new age base sound,East-European ethnic melodies and some gaelic-rooted main streams give the listener that rare freshness in musical experience.
I feel incapable of expressing how transcendently beautiful this music is. I can't imagine that angels sing any more divinely than Sonja Drakulich does, or that any musicians on heaven or earth get deeper into the musical flow than the musicians of Stellamara do. This is music from the heart, to the heart, of the highest imaginable level of creative integrity. This is one of those rare, timeless, priceless releases that gets deeper and richer the more you listen to it. Five stars aren't near enough to rate this work of refined musical art.
