A 1983 masterpiece by American guitarist Ralph Towner, renowned both for his work with Oregon and for his many outstanding solo recordings. In addition to 12-string acoustic and classical guitars, Towner also plays piano, synthesizer, French horn, cornet, and percussion himself, making this a completely self-performed work and a pure expression of his own musical world. The combination of the rich, resonant acoustic guitar and the crystalline piano creates a deeply spiritual and emotionally affecting atmosphere. A beautifully realized sound world from beginning to end, and an album that rewards close, attentive listening. Original German pressing.
