CD Reviews

Through the Great Smoky Mountains by Nicholas Gunn
05/23/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Nicholas Gunn has recorded another instant classic. The initial track, Call of the wild is one of his best to date with a soaring melody and pounding rhythms. The fragile waltz quality of Dance of Light is delicate and gorgeous, as is the beautiful Azalea Sunrise with a wonderful classical guitar melody interweaving with Nicholas' flute. Other standouts are Ramsey's Cascade and The Highest Point. This is a CD to treasure, and if you're a Nicholas Gunn fan, to add to your collection."
Memorable and enthusiastically recommended selections
Midwest Book Review | Oregon, WI USA | 08/10/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Nicholas Gunn is a classically trained and superbly talented flutist, keyboardist, and percussionist. In Through The Great Smoky Mountains, Gunn draws upon his native ability and obvious talent to musically conjure and reflect the spectacular scenery and breath-taking beauty of the Appalachian mountain range that straddles the boarder of Tennessee and North Carolina. The memorable and enthusiastically recommended selections comprising Through The Great Smoky Mountains include: Call of the Wild; The Highest Point; Cade's Cove; Chieftan's Song; The Place Of Blue Smoke; Azalea Sunrise; Trail of Tears; Awakening; Ramsey Cascades; Passage Through Ancient Relics; and Dance of Light."

"Nicholas Gunn is at his best when his music has a more narrative quality. This album recreates that same narrative feeling that he put into his Grand Canyon masterpiece. I am not sure that I don't like this one even more. At first I thought the "out west", native American quality was a little out of place. Then I realized that this land was once the "hunting ground" of the Cherokees and other "Indians." The piece is also a little more reflective and haunting than the Grand Canyon works, which goes along with the more haunting and "settled" quality of the Smoky Mountains. All I can say is that I can't wait for more of this kind of work from him."
