Description
This is an acoustic instrumental album of music featuring compositions by Christina Tourin, as well as Jeanine Yeager, and some traditional melodies.
Truly beautiful music which is very suitable for relaxation purposes, or whilst receiving a massage or other bodywork therapies.
Sounding Strings harp magazine of Scotland describes Christina thus:
“…that delightful rarity, a composer of contemporary melodies that are singable! Her style lies between easy listening and jazz. [This] recording, Starlight, is tranquil, relaxing music with an intimate feel to it. She uses the warmth of the cello and the purity of the flute (her accompanying instruments) to superb effect.”

Amazon customer review:
“Relaxation at its best. As an insomniac I was very happy to find this CD. It is extremely soothing and yet not at all ‘canned’ as so many CDs that purport to be relaxing can be. The music has a very real, visceral quality to it, and while relaxing, the music is beautifully written and played, so that quality uplifts as well as relaxes.”
