These are the most beautiful melodies of the Barouqe Composers Bach, Telemann and Corelli played on New Age instruments. For people who use Classical music to relax to, it is definitely a step up because it is ALL soft and flowing music with all the loud and fast parts taken out. Much relaxing New Age music has little or no melody or form. This album has all the relaxing qualities of the best new age albums AND has beautiful melodies, counterpoint and form as well. It is a perfect blend of Classical and New Age
