Andreas Vollenweider - Book of Roses (1991) [Hi-Res]

"My affinity for mystical themes has always been a source of inspiration for my musical work. On "Book of Roses" I tried to connect the earthy elements of ethnic music with the sonic depth of the symphonic sound body. The song "Passage to Promise" is based on a very special blend of energies. Shortly before the end of the horrible regime of apartheid, the South-African vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo visited me in Switzerland and we spent a wonderful time in the studio. Our jam sessions led to this song, which carries the spirit of a positive departure for South Africa. Joseph Shabalala sings of the power of forgiveness, of promises and responsibility."
