Review by CJ_InterCity Jan 19, 2006 (edited over 4 years ago)

What an extraordinary way of bringing classical masterpieces to life by adding a modern touch. This is the first album in the Aria series, and the only one to be released on Black Hole recordings with remixes by well known artists Tiesto and Armin Van Buuren. The remixes are the reason I discovered this CD, and both of them are very well made in a great touch of uplifting trance. However, these "bonus tracks" do not in any way deserve to exist on this CD. After taking the journey through an album of ambient musical brilliance, you're suddenly surrounded with powerful trancy beats that angry up the blood and you lose every peaceful thought the album brought to you.
