With the release of "Tapestry," Michael Hoppe has once again bestowed upon the world a recording of stunning beauty and incredible emotional depth. Hoppe has been one of my very favorite artists since I first discovered his music in 1998, and he seems to just keep getting better with each new release. Hoppe has created a trademark of sorts by including photos taken by his grandfather, E.O. Hoppe, to illustrate the music. This time, in addition to the photos in the twenty-page booklet, there are poems written for each piece by Therese Tappouni AND a video short film, Nous Deux Encore, which Hoppe scored. The British-born and Grammy-nominated Hoppe has released at least seventeen other albums over the past twenty or so years and is one of the most well-respected artists recording today. Several of his earlier albums were recorded with other artists including Tim Wheater (flute), Martin Tillman (cello), and Joe Powers (harmonica), and he has also collaborated on spoken-word albums with artists such as Michael York and Tim Wheater. Over the past several years, Hoppe has realized a life-long dream by recording several of his compositions with The Prague Symphony. While Hoppe's music is very calming and soothing, it is much too nuanced and evocative to relegate to background music. Although I have listened to "Tapestry" at least ten times, I keep pausing while writing about it to drink in the beauty of the music.
"Tapestry" begins with the sweeping "Prairie Moon," a piece we were given a sneak-preview to on last year's Nostalgie. This time it is fully realized by The Prague Symphony, painting landscapes of gently blowing grasses, endless skies, and nostalgia for a simpler life. Violinist Alyssa Park appears on three tracks, the first of which is "Sanctuary." With Hoppe's ethereal keyboard washes behind the soulful violin, peaceful warmth envelops the listener. "Maxie's Theme from Nous Deux Encore" features Mitsuki Dazai on koto. Oboe and guitar create an unusual but spellbinding trio. Strings are added, but the koto carries the enchanting melody from start to finish. "Moonflower," for piano and keyboard, is simply gorgeous in its elegant simplicity. "In Paradisum" is the only vocal piece, and features contralto AnDee Sanchez, whose graceful voice reaches right into your soul. "Impromptu" is the first of three piano solos, all of which are perfect in their simplest form. I love all twelve tracks on this album, but I think "Tears and Roses" is my favorite. It also appeared on Nostaglie, but this time it's a soulful duet for violin (Alyssa Park) and guitar. Joe Powers makes another appearance on "Embers," again demonstrating that the harmonica can be so much more than a campfire instrument. "Pastoral" is a shimmering symphonic masterpiece presented (this time!) on keyboards. Reflective and oh so peaceful, it makes me wonder why Michael Hoppe isn't a household name. "Tapestry" closes with the solo piano "Grace" - tender, honest, and gently embracing.

韩国新世纪音乐中，一个令人无法忽视的超龄天才，自从第二首Misty rain被选为韩国SBS热门连续剧[雪花]的插曲之后，Rain终于推出个人首张钢琴演奏专辑《雨的秘密》。
《雨的秘密》就像是一个较之同年人更具敏锐感受、更细腻的少年在静静吟唱的专辑。整张专辑表现的是Rain在日常生活中，无限透明的秘密日记。在Rain的音乐中，纯粹的喜悦、哀伤相生并存，写的是自己的情感，也道尽了都市人渴望被爱与爱人的内在渴求。
韩国感性钢琴家Rain无限透明的秘密日记，一份关于爱、分离、寂寞和渴望的真情告白。很细腻的一张钢琴专辑，惊讶于19岁就能作出如此动情的音乐......每个音符都带着雨一样透明的质感，但是婉转的旋律和偶尔插入的提琴又让人感觉到雨滴坠落时的小小伤感......诉说雨的秘密......

请标记的各位注意，主奏乐器是爱尔兰 哨笛（Irish Whistle），不是苏格兰风笛（Scottish Bagpipes），两者音质在本质上有很大的不同，请自行科普！！
哨笛的声音，还有钢琴和吉他的声音，纯净得像水滴一样。
每个人的心里都会有个故乡，爱尔兰哨笛会勾起他们的乡愁，因为那不是俗世的声音。哨笛的声音远远地从那个阔别已久的地方传来，那里有红色的树，绿色的河流，洁白的雪，温暖的土壤，还有安详的牛羊。
这张唱片是以短小轻巧的哨笛为主 轴，而竖琴则伴随着笛音，传递轻柔的背景，而长笛和风笛也偶尔穿梭其中，让原本就具有小男孩高音域的特色，呈现出一种音质清澈的魅力。收录的每一首曲子正是爱尔兰充满神话的人文风貌。其中以Women of Ireland最具有风的悠远，让我们更能感受到这首曲子所传达的爱尔兰女性神秘坚忍的特质。透过哨笛诠释的曲子，总让人想起童年的美好回忆，有时更会激动地落泪。聆听后将会钟爱一生的一张不可错过的专辑。

「鯨魚的骨骼沈入深海化為鯨落，生命曼妙的循環往復，交織在現實與夢境之間的浪漫邊界」～李星宇
│Dreaming 做夢的，Dream的形容詞│
他的音樂語言，源於聲音的探索‧他的音樂冒險，源於自我的真實
唯有他，能將各種聲音擬做形容詞，層層交疊，緩緩編織
聽他的夢，讀他的奇幻文字，感受他的音樂歷程
交錯於真實與奇幻之間，他，是奇幻織樂師
