		When Swiss harpist Andreas Vollenweider first arrived on the scene 25 years ago, he was a harbinger of a new instrumental music.
		Andreas has a wonderful voice, but the lyrics are a bit blatent and corny.

	SoundStage! Andreas Vollenweider - Cosmopoly
		Andreas Vollenweider is one of those all-too-rare musicians who, from the very beginning, hit a truly inimitable stride and never turned back, preferring instead to stick to paths less traveled rather than revisit proven scenery.
		For Cosmopoly, Vollenweider sets the table with a truly monstrous catch of expert specimens -- the collection is aptyl named.
		Always known for giving great flute with his group, Vollenweider here picks Carlos Nuñez, honorable seventh Chieftain and acknowledged as one of the world’s premier pipers (his breakout Brotherhood of Stars album on BMG [74321-45375-2] is a must-have).

		It was easy to find solace in the Asian-inflected chording of "Hippolyte," or the album's atmospheric finale, where flutes, flamenco guitar, fiddle, and chimes combined with the harp in an approximation of that famous story about the white light at the end of the tunnel.
		The addition of so many extra instruments into Vollenweider's already widely scanning sound worked to expand his ideology as much as it did his sound, since the range of ethnic styles represented unified his music with so many locales.
		Dancing With the Lion was a textured, pensive release that suggested Vollenweider's later work with an international cast of likeminded musicians and symphonies.

		In 1981, Vollenweider was a breath of fresh incense capable of creating sweet, poignant melodies with an electro-acoustic harp that reached from deep bass lows to shimmering highs.
		Vollenweider's albums are meticulously recorded, with each instrument given its own space, creating an encompassing sense of architecture.
		Andreas Vollenweider is the second harp player I heard, the first was Hillary Stagg and I can see a big difference in their music mostly because of the background instruments.

		But Vollenweider then really gets experimental with "Manto's Arrow and the Sphinx" -- with its relatively conventional harp dominated by the whooping and sequenced screeching of a female vocalist, the song is completely unclassifiable.
		While "Sphinx" is ultimately too outrageous to be functional, it proves that Vollenweider -- by now an established heavyweight in the new age arena -- is not afraid to try out new ideas.
		Likewise, the finale, "Letters to a Young Rose," is classic Vollenweider, matching his modified harp to a shuffling accordion as it moves through various moods and tempos.

		Die langen Fingernägel waren dann aber ein eindeutiges Indiz, und auch, wie ich später feststellte, dass er am Vorabend in Locarno aufgetreten war und am nämlichen Abend in Zürich gastierte.

		Impressiona davvero il modo in cui l'arpa riempie il suono e il palco: Vollenweider e Keiser insieme sono già un gruppo, una macchina sonora in grado di affascinare e coinvolgere.
		Vollenweider coinvolge il pubblico, ci invita a cantare, a sostenere con le voci il ritmo, a giocare con loro in un paesaggio cui non sarebbe giusto dare il nome di un genere musicale.
		Si arriva a Pyramid, primo brano scritto da Vollenweider con l'arpa e per l'arpa e splendida chiusura del concerto, guarda caso suonata ancora solo con l'apporto di Keiser (grandi applausi per lui pochi minuti prima per uno spettacolare assolo).

		In addition to the usual presence of Vollenweider's electrified harp, on which he manages to combine the instrument's lush, classical sound with unusual rhythmic effects and uncharacteristic tones, KRYPTOS boasts a range of other instruments, including flutes, synthesizer, human choruses, and a variety of percussion.
		Vollenweider also has a soft spot for mythological themes, as on "Hermes' Wedding" and "Circulus Finalis," which recounts the travels of a hero in musical terms.
		Vollenweider is clearly building on his successful albums of the early 1980s with KRYPTOS, expanding the reach of his music to encompass the globe

		"Morning Poem," Vollenweider's Celtic-inspired duet with Nunez, is all the more moving for its restraint, and the unusual fusion of Bobby McFerrin [+]'s vocals with Chinese harp on "Elle Chelle" is another highlight.
		Ibrahim and Vollenweider create a smoky Armenian atmosphere on their doudouk/harp duet "Hush, My Heart, Be Still," and "Peachtree Valley" evokes a lush Chinese landscape, though the overly glossy production is somewhat distracting.

		Harpist/composer Andreas Vollenweider was one of the key figures in the early New Age genre, and his electric harp, which can range in feel from a stately classical approach to snappy syncopation to lush ambient textures, is the defining aspect of his work.
		DOWN TO THE MOON remains one of Vollenweider's best and best-loved albums, combining his penchant for jazzy ethnic fusion with delicate, spectral atmospherics that go well with the album's lunar theme.
