CD Reviews

Excellent historical art form brought to life

J. Kokoski | Ellicott City, MD United States | 07/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have this cd as well as Dean Shostak's others: Glass Armonica and Crystal Carols. This musical instrument (glass armonica) was invented by Benjamin Franklin during Colonial American times. It's been brought back to life in contemporary Williamsburg, VA thanks to artists such as Mr. Shostak.

The music is based on the idea of rubbing fingertips over wet glass but the sound is ethereal in quality. No other modern instrument comes close to achieving the depth of tone as the glass armonica. This celtic collection is best for spending a mellow rainy afternoon with candlelight and scented candles.

To see how the instrument is played, and hear some pieces the Classical composers specifically wrote for the armonica, get Shostak's CD/DVD set Glass Armonica."

Interesting...but can be harsh to the ears

Shawn C. Pursley | Atlanta | 04/25/2008

"I bought this on a lark...and it is very interesting when you look at the history behind this unique instrument. However...if you can imagine what it sounds like for someone to run their finger around a wine glass rim...imagaine them doing that....for an hour...at different levels of intensity.

Again...interesting..but I would sugggest listening to the samples before I bought."
