With his new CD album Camelot Reawakened,
Richard Shulman lets us know he is moving towards becoming
a significant classical American composer. Based on Shulman's
previous CD albums reviewed in the column, Camelot Reawakened
is a remarkable leap forward in complexity and sophistication.
Not only that, it is truly beautiful music to listen to. But
then, Shulman has always stood in a state of grace with his
music. The concept for this CD album is that of a society
living in harmony with each other and their land-heaven on
earth. Camelot Reawakened was recorded live with a
35-piece orchestra made up of members of the Asheville Symphony
Orchestra. Through piano, orchestration, choir and vocalist
solos, it incorporates elements of Folk, Gospel, Jazz and
Classical music. This music ranges from soothing to dramatic
and from introspective to inspirational. For those of you
who enjoy New Age music and classical music this CD album
is especially for you. It can be ordered from RichHeart Music
at P.O. Box 467, Woodstock, NY 12498.
