Lyric poetry
author: Lynda L.
I have read that the sound vibrations that come from a cello are closer to those of a human voice than any other. In listening to Sherill's love dance on the cello, I have experienced both smiles and tears of the heartstrings, as if listening to poetry that touches the soul. On a more pragmatic note, my husband played Mello Cello repeatedly last week, saying he could listen to it over and over again. The playing is exquisite, the song choices compliment each other so well, and daughter Amelia plays with her mother feeling the harmonies as if she were one with her mother's musical breath. What a gift.
I am absolutely thrilled to have this CD in my collection, and on my iPod in the "Favorites" playlist. I give it 5 stars.
