5 out of 5 stars It's New Age music the right way,.......2007-03-13

Put the CD in and close your eyes and be prepared for a journey. It's very evocative of emotions of love and romance. Absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere is one of closeness... perfect for a backdrop of a romantic evening or to put in headphones during a stressful day.

The reason I stumbled onto it (released in 1988 and bought by me in 2007) is the background singer Patti Austin. Anything Patti is in I buy.

I have heard of Andreas Vollenweider from the smooth jazz stations but never paid him any special attention. I have been missing out for many years. I'm sure I'm in the dark about many artists and am grateful that Amazon and other sites have the listen feature.

Will add more later. Still listening.

5 out of 5 stars Rich, multi-textured and unique.......2002-11-30

A lion's roar sets the tone for this continuation of Andreas Vollenweider's ever-evolving creative vision. This music for electroacoustic pedal harp, cheng, synthesizer, solo voice, chorus, percussion and a variety of other instruments is so unique and multi-textured that it tends to defy description. If pressed, I'd term the offerings on this album a fusion of the best of jazz and New Age elements with flavorings from Africa, the Orient, and somewhere far off-planet. Energizing and calming, ethereal and grounding, tantalizing and satisfying, it is an unexpected blending of extremes into a truly artful soundscape that transports you to a world free of woes and full of magic. Beginning with "The Trilogy" and "Down to the Moon", Vollenweider continues his musical journeys here, and then enhances his signature sound in ever new and intriguing ways in "Eolian Minstrel", "Book of Roses", "Kryptos" and "Cosmopoly".

5 out of 5 stars One of the best !!.......2002-03-28

This is such wonderful and beautiful album as "Down to the moon", which I believe is #1 album of all the Vollenweider's. To my knowledge, he used piano for the first time for this unique album giving it freshness and variety. I also think he added sound effect very skillfully and efficiently. I am just amazed how he could do another great job in a row after the grammy awarded "Down to the moon".

So... why don't you let this album be in your precious collection. You won't be sorry at all!!

2 out of 5 stars Nothing new.......2002-01-19

If you're a Vollenweider fan, I guess you'll get more out of `Dancing with the Lion' than I did. Some of the tracks are all right, but some are almost cliched new age pieces (one track, `Still Life,' has these atrocious Kenny G.-like saxophone solos). To me, this is just a rather unoriginal follow-up to `Down to the Moon' - althogether a stronger album and a much more tolerable new age release.

5 out of 5 stars MOVED TO TEARS!.......2000-09-10

I was recently inroduced to the music of Andreas Vollenweider during a romantic weekend break in Rome. My partner and I attented his concert which was set in the beautiful grounds of Villa Cellimontana. As the darkness fell and the stars came out the music of "Stella" (Cosmopoly) began to fill the air. It was a very moving experience that I shall never forget. "Cosmopoly" and "Dancing with the Lion" now provide a backdrop to all our intimate dinners together.
