Review
Inspired by her travels to Asia, Suzanne Ciani returns with her 11th release and a collection of lilting, sentimental originals. The title track, "Turning," is a catchy, ethereal piece somewhere between a Madonna ballad and an Enya song as sung by Chyi-Yu. The rest of the album uses mostly acoustic tools to create a fine fabric of lyrical music that's akin to Secret Garden and Jim Brickman. At times Ciani recalls the soul of the Paul Winter Consort with oboe, flute, and fretless bass daintily jamming in swirling trade winds of improvisation. Another enchantingly tender offering from this New Age master. --Karen KarleskiTurning is Grammy-nominated and Indie-nominated for Best New Age Album.
Turning features Ciani's original melodies wrapped in the instrumentation of The Wave ensemble. Notable guests Paul McCandless of Oregon (oboe, horn), Teja Bell (guitar), Michael Manring (bass), Steve Kindler (violin), and Matt Eackle (flute) share the spotlight on this gathering of a dozen sparkling compositions.
Vocalist Chyu-Yu leads off with the sole vocal piece, an Enyaesque plea for a lover to return, reprised instrumentally later in the set. Flute and horn duets serenade listeners sweetly through "Ocean Avenue," while "I Believe in Love" and "Soaring" are rhapsodized by flutes and oboes. "Midnight Rendezvous" bends the genres between New Age-classical and smooth jazz when Ciani's piano and synths meld with cello and sensual sax.
