Review: Fairy Heart Magic Gary Stadler & Stephannie

An influential musician in the genre of contemporary Celtic music, Gary Stadler has created a portal to the world of the Fae with his series of Fairy Songs.  A pianist and composer, Gary Stadler began his Fairy music series as simple piano compositions created as lullabies for his beautiful wife. Truly enchanting, the music opens fairy doors and invites them to come in and play with you ... whether you are a believer or not.  Expect magic and mystery ... and of course a little mischief.

Fairy Heart Magic is the fourth CD of six fairy albums to date by Stadler.  A tapestry of pleasantries of every color, the emotive music is much like a film score and could easily bring a lot of color to a motion picture about the fairy folk.  Joined by the sweet soprano of Stephannie and the elegant harp of Lisa Lynne, Stadlers' vision is almost that of a creation while under the influence of a perfect possession of the fairy.  Stephannie's vocals at times have an Enya sound, although this is not always the case.  She sings in an unfamiliar language, the foreign tongue is that of the fairies as well as in English.  This fairy language came to her in a dream.  Celtic harp, gorgeous, celestial vocals, delightful piano and lots of heartfelt emotion create a truly unique musical spell that unlocks the doors within our hearts to the beautiful world of magic.
 
Conjuring up colorful and delightful, ethereal, mythical being of folklore and romance with magical powers that they share with me, Fairy Heart Magic is an invitation to the fairies.  At times they teach me to use my own powers, while some times they teach me the herbs ... always benevolent, even in their mischievousness.   

Comforting, joyful and lovely ... a true to heart invocation of the fairies and a gift to us all.  This album gives me good dreams.  Try it yourself.  Play it just before bed and allow it to soothe you to sleep.  Be sure to keep a pen and paper near by to write down your dreams when you awake.  

This is a great album for the little ones too  ... both the young at heart and the children.  If you are having a hard time putting them asleep, try Fairy Heart Magic.  You will taste the magic, as they are bound ... spellbound that is ... to fall under. 

The CD comes with a fourteen-page booklet with the lyrics (some in an ancient fairy language) and beautiful fairy artwork.  The booklet is exploding with color, life and pixie dust, put together by the lovely artist Katlyn Breene.  The lyrics are beautifully framed and the art of Katlyn Breene is stunning, creating an even richer and deeper sense of the fairy realm.

Brilliant ... a dreamy, captivating and romantic masterpiece!!!  For more information, or to order please visit Sequoia Records.
