Composer  Michael Hoppe usually plays piano  and keyboard on his recordings;
on Quiet Storms: Romances for Flute and Harp, he turns the performing duties
over to harpist Lou Anne Neill and flautist Louise Di Tullio.  The flute and
harp  are  relatively  quiet,  so you may be tempted to put the album on for
background music.  Don’t be surprised if the music suddenly carries you away
through  buried  emotions to distant  thoughts.  Hoppe  knows how to craft a
moving  melody,  and he  takes you there in style. "Quiet Storms," "Andrew’s
Theme" (from Misunderstood), the somber "October Poem," "Waltz for Raphael,"
and  "Nocturne"  are romantic,  yet gripping. There are lighter contrasts: "
Sand  Castles"  has a carefree,  windblown touch with a cadence exactly like
patting  down  sand;  "Petite Giselle"  springs  through  meadows buoyantly;
"Avalon" is mysterious,and "Pieces of the Moon" is dreamy.Soft environmental
sounds (thunder, rain) frame the album on "Eyes of the Wind Theme." Here,the
harp sounds like raindrops falling on a warm puddle or blowing in the breeze.
A lovely album.  (By the way,  Hoppe added to the  artistry of the  album by
contributing two stormy (visual) landscapes for the liner notes.)
