I dearly love this work, mostly for the beautifully rendered music and sounds. While the creation story that's told is quite moving and lovely, the narrator's voice seems forced and unnatural; however, since I purchased the work on tape many years ago, I have not only the narrative with music, but also the instrumental and sounds portion without the narration, and the latter is what I listen to all the time. Incidentally, all the music was composed by Mark Lineberry, an extremely talented and spiritual individual who sadly just died of cancer this past Spring. The accolades for this CD should go to him.
