Andreas Vollenweider – Book Of Roses (Sixteen Episodes / Four Chapters) (CD, 1992, Columbia CK 48601, US)

Why This CD Matters
Book Of Roses is a sixteen-part Andreas Vollenweider work organized into four chapters, combining his electro-acoustic harp-centered approach with acoustic, electronic, rock, and modern-classical elements. Released in the US in 1992, the album reached No. 2 on Billboard’s New Age Albums chart during its initial run. Its continuous chapter structure makes it one of Vollenweider’s more explicitly programmatic albums.
