Music Reviews –

Music by Johnson & Dunning has never disappointed me ever since I heard their Music of Celtic Legends back in 1997. Since then, their reputation and talents have grown boundlessly. Winterfold, featuring their new partner violinist Wendy Goodwin is a peaceful journey into the frosty winter “aire.” Yet, this is one of those albums that brings you peace at any time of the year. I have been playing it for months as a treat to myself. “One Last Flower” is so gentle it has me floating along with the melody. I imagine the last petal falling from the purple fall asters and the brisk wind that is the culprit. The title tune “Winterfold” is pensive and the term winsome comes to mind. Wendy’s violin is truly graceful on the tune “From the East” while Brian Dunning’s flute enhances “Three Rings”. Johnson’s delightfully echoing piano closes the album with the song “Her Heart Flies”. A daily dose of this album is highly recommended. – R J Lannan / NAR


. . . To listen to Winterfold is to traverse an aural landscape, touched by otherworldly grace. It is to be drawn to the deep places of the heart—to feel moments of an unnamed longing for home—and to be welcomed at the last to a realm of quiet joy, solace, and inspiration. Rich in yearning woodwinds, evocative percussion, stirring violin, and lyric keyboard and guitar phrasings, Winterfold comes to Advent—and takes us through winter—a stunning, seamless, beautifully burnished gift. – All Nine / Kevin Belmonte

WINTERFOLD
(With gratitude to George Mackay Brown)

One last flower in her hand,
She stands within the winterfold,
Watching clouds,
Waiting.

Wings appear from the east,
Gabriel –
Keeper of the door.
Rising . . .

Her heart flies,
Like an acrobat above three rings,
Strolling through star streets,
Singing.
