 Ahh. or Ohm March 30, 2007

This is the most relaxing music possibly, I've ever experienced. When I bought my first copy in a bookstore in Albuquerque, I had asked the clerk to play it for me before purchase. Upon listening to it with me, she said she felt so calm, that the rest of her day was going to be great-Unless she fell asleep!-Thats how "unstressed" it makes one feel.
I have given this CD (also in "tape" form) to people for gifts. Everyone has enjoyed it. Most recently, I gave a copy to my Yoga teacher. She plays it during class-Although "Sedona Suite" is "calming", it also can be mood enhancing and energyzing-Multi-purpose-
I also bought "Journey Back to Sedona"-Its okay but, I would say that this is by far Tom Barabas'es best!

This is by far the best CD ever. We use it everytime we take a trip, it is the "TRIP" CD. The music is beautiful, it fills the air. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to get lost in great music.

Luckily this was a gift. No words. Gorgeous new age piano music, very relaxing. I loved it so much I got the sheet music and played it over and over until I got it down. Yanni who? This guy is unique and you will love it. Years later on a trip to Sedona I bought his next album, Journey Back to Sedona, and it was good but nothing compares to this album, if you buy one, buy this one.

This is my first Tom Barabas CD, and I've since bought "Journey Back to Sedona" as well. The music is quiet and beautiful, yet has a lot of energy to it, especially in the "More than Words", "Free Spirit" and "Moon Dust" tracks.

I'm going to join the group that has had this album around for a long time. It was one of the first tapes I kept in the car as regular background music, and I've probably listened to it so much that I have it memorized. The CD version is in my library, and it still gets dragged out with regularity. Obviously, I like it.
Barabas uses fairly conservative classical music styling in presenting his music, often playing over orchestration. There are occasional similarities to Liszt, and a definite debt to all romantic pianists. Structured, entirely likable, but with nary a hard edge in sight. Barabas is a talented musician, and it shows in his technique more than anywhere else, where he refuses to fall into any typical, new age pattern.
The one flaw is that the music is a bit over-orchestrated and high flown. This are things that only become apparent on repeated, focused listening, and shouldn't interfere in the least with your enjoyment unless you are a purist. I'm not, and think there should be at least one Barabas album in every collection. Sedona Suite would be a good choice.
