Tranquillity 2

Price:
AU $27.22

Label: ABC Classics Cat. No.: 980 7563 Medium: CD No. Discs: 1

Tranquillity 2 follows the phenomenal success of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra's 2002 release Tranquillity - the classical music of calm.

Tranquillity 2 draws together another diverse collection of pieces from across the spectrum of orchestral music of the baroque, classical, romantic and 20th-century periods. As with the previous collection, the calming properties of this music can be found not only in the pieces that evoke restful contemplation and reflection but also in music that is infused with joyous exuberance and celebration.

The ability of these pieces to positively affect our state of mind comes from the attention this music draws from us and the journey it invites us to take. The listener can be transported to another plane, through the soaring lyricism or profound simplicity of the melody, or the atmospheric other-world created by the composer's use of harmony and orchestration. This escape from the cares and stresses of the everyday instils a state of calm and a renewed perspective with which to face the world.

Let Tranquillity 2 take you on a journey of freedom and renewal.
