SWAN LAKE, the New Album by Classical Soprano Kriemhild Maria Siegel
Kriemhild Maria Siegel’s clear soprano vocals and innovative approach to love songs create elegant and romantic music for any special occasion; Oscar-winning actor Maximilian Schell performs on “Swan Lake” and its accompanying video.
Lovers of classical voice are delighting in a new talent, as German soprano Kriemhild Maria Siegel embarks on a campaign to share her music and performances with audiences in the United States. The great classics of Tchaikovsky, Smetana, and Mozart are refreshed in Siegel’s impressive third album, Swan Lake: The Most Beautiful Songs of the World by Kriemhild Maria Siegel, released late 2011 by Jupiter Records in Europe, and now available digitally in the U.S.
The album – curated by Siegel herself and produced by her husband, Ralph Siegel – features 16 pieces that flow from classical works by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Bedrich Smetana, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart to more modern pieces by Steve Mandy and Ralph Siegel, finishing with Engelbert Humperdinck’s “Abendsegen” from the opera Hansel and Gretel. The album’s launch date included the singer’s special performance on Europe’s famed The Carmen Nebel Show, with a rare performance by Oscar-winning actor Maximilian Schell; Schell also appears in and narrates an artful video for the single “Swan Lake” featuring Siegel in the dramatic title role, which she recorded in both English and German.

Rajendra Teredesai is among India's leading classical bansuri (Indian bamboo flute) virtuosos, with a distinctive individuality evolved over years of dedicated study and practice.
Rajendra's new album Divine Dimension was released today by Real Music in the USA. Divine Dimension is an album designed to enhance awareness in a relaxed and contemplative state of mind.
In meditation we center awareness on the innermost level of being. These compositions are based on traditional Indian ragas, with one Kirtan, and as such invoke a deep spiritual experience for the listener. They have been arranged with simplicity in mind and feature bansuri, chant, tanpura, percussion and drums, with atmospheric keyboard backing. The music is ideally suited for meditative practices, yoga, tai chi and easy listening. May it enhance your life. Featured on Divine Dimension is also Rajendra's friend and colleague BlueMonk on keyboards. Blue Monk has his own release on Real Music, the album entitled "Enlightened Love".

Ola Gjeilo’s moving album, Stone Rose, heralds the arrival of a remarkable new talent in the New Age piano music world. Cuddling up to watch a peaceful snowfall, reveling in the sanctuary of an empty church, taking respite in the quiet of a city park; these are the soothing gifts Gjeilo gives with his solo piano debut, Stone Rose, entering the New Age music market this fall.
Stone Rose is a musical garden, a empathic glimpse into Gjeilo’s heart. In the years during his early success as a composer and concert performer, Gjeilo internalized and process memorable landscapes, cities and people, finally channeling them into musical expressions. Inspiring, passionate, sensitive, these many forms of love provided the groundwork for the intuitive compositions he presents in Stone Rose.
Recorded by Grammy-nominated label 2L in an old church in Oslo, Norway, one senses the soulful resonance of the old wood, hushed tones, and cool stone floors beneath the recordings. Gjeilo’s works seem to float freely in their own time, sometimes playful, other times introspective, always unhurried. His composition style for Stone Rose was improvisational, composing by ear and fitting music to subject, whether it was his mother or New York’s Hudson River; which in this case, were one in the same.

Ram Dass did not give up after his stroke; he has remained completely open to experience, and he is now embracing new technology and new music to reach more people than ever with his message…very cool.Cosmix is a rhythmic, energizing album that merges timeless wisdom with modern sounds, chants, and world instruments.
Ram Dass' most relevant dialogue is mixed with moving, chilled back electronica perfect for yoga, meditation, or atmospheric entertainment.
The music dominates without diminishing the power of Ram Dass' messages on tracks “Mantra,” “Stuck,” “The Game,” “Additya Hridayam,” and six others.
The enhanced CD also contains a historic, heartwarming ten minute video excerpt from “The Last Dance,” Ram Dass' final recorded conversation with his life-long friend, the late LSD guru, Timothy Leary, who encouraged Ram Dass to celebrate death as the next transitional stage on their journey.
Ram Dass is a spiritual and cultural icon known for embracing and sharing Eastern teachings with the West. Famous for his lifelong friendship with the late LSD researcher Timothy Leary, Ram Dass' path took him in another direction, to India where he embraced spiritual enlightenment with his guru Neem Karoli Baba. Inspired, he wrote the ground-breaking and noteworthy guidebook "Be Here Now," over thirty years before Eckhart Tolle shared a similar message with the world.
