Album Notes

The sheer breadth of Kitaro’s eclecticism is on full display here, with selections from his essential soundtrack work collected on The Best of Silk Road, 2002’s The Soong Sisters, to his Broadway score for Cirque Ingenieux, as well as more personal creations such as the two-volume Sacred Journey of Kukai, a surprising melting pot of prog-rock guitar, haunting woodwinds, sampling of natural sounds and Buddhist monk chanting.

The DVD that complements this CD collection contains stunning footage of two very different but equally epic performances: a 1999 concert in Spain and a 2004 show in China, both demonstrating that Kitaro’s music truly crosses borders to deliver a universal message.
