The radio which is set to a classical radio station is my alarm to wake me in the morning. One morning as I was waking, I heard on the radio something that I just fell in love with. It was some time before Sony released this cd. Yes it is Imagined Oceans by Karl Jenkins.
Clicking on the cd cover will take you to the cd at CDNow where you will be able to listen to some of the music from this recording.
I'd be interested to hear what you think of this music. You can email me at ardenaj@yahoo.com
