Search - Andreas Vollenweider :: Kryptos

A Masterpiece

"I have most of Vollenweider's CDs and listen to them frequently. Each one is like a glorious, aesthetic trip around the world, and sometimes out of this world. I think Kryptos is his greatest achievement so far. It starts with a beautiful theme for choir and orchestra, and that springboards into a rich musical journey which flows from classical to jazz, Japanese to Celtic, solemnity to exhileration. At the end, the first theme is heard again, this time with choir and harp, and this time, instead of springboarding, it simply and exquisitely resolves."

Worth waiting for

"I chose to purchase Kryptos from Amazon.com rather than purchase it locally, which meant I had to wait a while. Well, talk about deferred gratification! In no time it arrived, and exceeded my expectations. It was brilliant! Much better than Vox which I had bought a year ago. Andreas Vollenweider really outdoes himself in this album."

Wonderfully outstanding!

"I have been a fan of Andreas Vollenweider's for over 10 years. Everytime I pick up another CD of his I know I will be thoroughly amazed and awed at his genius. "KRYPTOS" is a perfect example of his limitless imagination and abilities. He his not alone. By no means can we dismiss wonderfully talented folks who choose to be part of his music."
