Not your modern music, nonetheless this album has stately yet light and elegant sounds throughout all the tracks. The music is elaborately ornamental with the expressive dissonance of Baroque. Some tracks you just melt into such as "Cujus Animam (Stabat Mater part 2)." Others I loved for their percussions such as in "Sonate 1 Prelude part 3." I was impressed with the variability of this type of music. Each track had an enticing beginning whether somber or lively or both at the same time. This unique and lovely music is worth listening to for a variety of qualities and is useful as a background sound for many vendors and venues. By the way, I did download this album.

J'entame le 3ème album et c'est toujours le meme plaisir ! Une infinité de notes, de sons, plus beaux les uns que les autres. Un véritable plaisir auditif. Un moment de plénitude totale, où l'esprit ne fait plus qu'un avec le corps. Merci pour ce magnifique album qui nous permet de nous évader, le temps de ces merveilleuses mélodies.

En faisant abstraction, pas de la qualité sonore, mais du rendu des instruments, je retrouve le mélodiste que j'aime et qui sait parfaitement les harmoniser. Passé le rendu des instruments - mais on peut facilement pénétrer dans cet univers particulier - j'avoue avoir écouté cet album deux fois d'affilée. Je n'avoue pas une faute, mais un vrai plaisir. Merci Yvalain, une fois de plus, d'avoir partagé ton talent. PMC

Baroque is not a trend anymore... So an album like this one should be twice appreciated. Beautiful music, very well conceived and developed. Hopefully we'll be able to hear a real ensemble performing it some day. Thanks a lot !

tellement inspiré... toutes les pièces s'écoutent avec bonheur

'Baroque Mood', is the Parent Album but this is a Review of One of its Selections, 'Sonate #1-Prelude Part 3' which is a Baroque-Contemporary Classical, Instrumental work. The Average Listener may think of Percussion-Only as "Drums" and nothing more when in fact, keyboard instruments such as Piano, Celeste, Harpsichord are in the Percussion Family. Perhaps less surprising, Xylophone, Glockenspiel, Hammer Dulcimer and Marimba are also included. I point this out based on what the Listeners can expect to hear. A Orchestral Drum Cadence does indeed start the piece. The Voice is Higher Pitched than Timpani but the Feeling/Tone is so similar that I call it "Orchestral" because as Baroque as it is--there is a Distinct "Primitive"-Tribal Quality about it. Synthesized Woodwinds provides the Melody briefly then a Metallic Voice that resembles a cross between Marimba and Celeste joins in. In fact no fewer than 4 Equally Dominant Voices-the majority being Percussive can be heard as the track progresses. The Non Percussive Synth Woodwind really truly makes a Sharp Contrast between-Rhythmic Pounding and Flowing Notes but the combination creates a highly Contemporary and Original Composition.

Не всё однозначно хорошо для меня в альбоме.Особенно понравились:Prelude part 1, Prelude part 2,Andante.

Merveilleux oeuvre, plein de vie, talent et qualitè. No es un estilo que conozca demasiado, pero lo disfrutè mucho, y sorprende el nivel artìstico de Yvalain, con sus otros estilos tambièn excelentes. Las que màs me gustaron son ``Cavatine...``, ``Pro Peccatis...``, ``Quis est homo...``, ``Reconciliation (part 2)``, ``Sonate #1 - Prelude part3`` con la percusiòn... ``Amen...`` y ``Stabat Mater - quarter mix`` con ese efecto me encantò, muy original.
