Synopsis

Product Description
Mountain vistas interspersed with alpine parks, stands of Aspen and conifer forests interlaced with rivulets and creeks of cool, clear run-off emanating from winter's glacial snows far about the tree line... this is the alpine homeland of Colorado's native tribal peoples. Today, the remnants of their summer encampments, in these secluded rocky Mountain fastnesses, are ideal places of spiritual refuge and unencumbered solitude. The nurturing atmosphere offers a brief respite from the cares of the world and within this sacred domain this music was created. The solo Native American flute speaks to the heart with an eloquence unmatched by any other instrument. This collection includes selections featuring the richness of the bass cedar flute in addition to the grace of the standard flute performed by the multi-Grammy nominee, R. Carlos Nakai.

CD Reviews

Familiar, haunting, and very highly recommended
Midwest Book Review | Oregon, WI USA | 06/07/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The traditional Carlos Nakai flute playing in Sanctuary takes two forms: pieces rendered on the bass cedar flute, and those presented on the standard flute. Either way, Nakai's classic sounds, flawless performances, and nature-oriented inspirations remain familiar, haunting, and very highly recommended presentations."
Chicken soup for the soul

"A few years ago, I happened upon a Native American Flute Cd. I would have never considered it, however something about it, called to me.. deep. Now, I know what your thinking, new age nut, But wait! I am an EMT, Yes, I am an "earth religion" person. But this transends any cultural bounds. I have meet a few people who dont like this music. But if you get the chance give it a listen! When I hear it, It free's the very soul, you feel "happy" almost urphoric. Its hard to explaine, but I can tell you in a busy world with way too much stress, you owe it to yourself to stop and listen to the finner things. Never mind what others say or think. Trust me you will be hooked by the mystical journy this CD takes you upon. You will be introduced to things I swear you may have seen thousands of times, yet never saw. Its lovely, there are no words to describe the tallent I see here in this CD and others like it. Native American Flute music is the most lovely thing I have had the HONOR to listen to.

And funny of all, I am born to British Parrents. But I pleed with you if your considering this.. GO FOR IT. Dont think twice.

This is lovely... more lovely and real tribute to the old ways.

Any questions... feel free to email me Tru_wagner@yahoo.com"
Let your soul soar

"I truly enjoy Mr. Nakai's music. It seems to be the perfect background for spending time with myself. I like the uncluttered solo performance; it allows me to focus on Mr. Nakai's talent and flute-playing skill. "Sanctuary" carries me away. In combination with the nature that surrounds my home it lets my soal soar."
