Picture a square with Clannad, pianist David Lanz, Mannheim Steamroller, and the musicians of Riverdance at its corners. Somewhere within those stylistic borders you will encounter the European duo Secret Garden. The popular twosome--Irish violinist Fionnuala (fi-NOO-la) Sherry and Norwegian pianist/keyboardist Rolf Lovland--have attracted a sizable following with their heart-touching specialty: a wistful, violin-rooted, pop-folk-classical melange that often strikes the ear as a film score in search of some delicate romantic tale. Songs from a Secret Garden is the duo's debut recording from 1995, and it principally offers a series of pensive dialogues between Sherry's stately violin and Lovland's subdued piano, yielding equal measures of sweetness and melancholy. Whistles, pipes, percussion, strings, and ethereal voices serve as embellishments. At times you may sense you're being serenaded by strolling musicians with a heavy sentimental streak; at other times you may feel genuinely moved--perhaps by something as lovely as the reverential "Sigma" and its sublime, Gregorian-like choral passages. Only one uptempo tune, "The Rap," surfaces here; a few others would have been welcomed. And yes, this is the disc where you will find "Heartstrings," the composition that once smote Barbra Streisand's heart. She eventually acquired the rights to the piece, inserted lyrics, renamed it "I've Dreamed of You" (found on A Love Like Ours), and sang it to James Brolin during the couple's 1998 wedding. --Terry Wood

 very beautiful! October 27, 2008
I have fibromyalgia and use audio-visual biofeedback for pain management. This is absolutely beautiful in its own right, but it also works well for my biofeedback. I am so thankful for having found this group and their music!
 Opinion September 19, 2008
I have listened this musician several times. Then i decided to have this album. In my opinion, these songs have their own pleasure completely. So this is an effective experince to listen them.
VERY haunting August 21, 2008
Song from a Secret Garden is SO haunting! A few months ago I had it going through my head, but could not remember who performed it until I remembered TONIGHT! Then I had to turn the house upside down to find the CD! FOUND it! This group is so mesmerizing.
A Peaceful Time July 24, 2008
I bought this cd because my yoga teacher uses the piece entitled "Pastorate" for when we do the 1/2 Sun salute; it is such a peaceful piece of music, uplifting and kind. In fact, I play the cd each morning and evening: morning, to wake up gently; evening, to go to back to sleep peacefully.
