A Light in The Forest

“A Light in The Forest”- This is a Book AND a CD!

Recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound, it is perhaps the first Folk/Celtic/World Music CD to be available in this format!

Music about the woods and the fascinating creatures that dwell within them-- fairies, trolls, nymphs, leprechauns, witches, bears, and more. It’s packaged inside a 31-page hardcover book describing the folk history and legends of these creatures and the tunes, filled with vintage artwork and whimsical illustrations.

This recording also features Char Berta on flute, tenor recorder, alto recorder, and whistle, Chris Caswell on percussion and harmonium, Michael Frost on viola, Alan Fuller on guitars and cittern, and Dorothy A. Hawkinson on fiddle and hardingfele.

“Anne Roos’ music is beautifully played and meticulously recorded. Her analog recordings at Skywalker Sound were done so well, they are being used as demonstration material of high resolution audio.”—John Loose, AV Services Manager, Dolby Laboratories, Inc., San Francisco, California
