Gifts of the Angels Steven Halpern has more than 60 recordings in circulation, including audio projects ostensibly designed to enhance memory, wealth, and weight loss. He even has his own trademarked slogan–the Halpern Effect(tm)! (Take that, Mozart.) Thus, it’s easy to view Halpern’s high-volume output since 1975 less as art and more like a commodity. Gifts of the Angels, a 68-minute compilation (sampling eight albums and adding two original pieces), offers a few nuggets that suggest Halpern’s music at times can stand on its own merits, detached from all of its deep-bliss, New Age pretensions. “Celestial Prophecy,” is a nicely detailed (which is not to say complex) excursion on solo piano that briefly stirs the senses, and the title track from Higher Ground is a delicate space-music standout. Meanwhile, the 1970s-flashback tonality of Halpern’s electric piano (one piece, “Earthrise,” can be traced to Halpern’s debut release, Spectrum Suite) dates several of the tracks included here. Nevertheless, the disc’s pace, which drifts deeper into the ether on each of the last five tracks, is nicely constructed for those aiming to nod off into a state of contented nothingness. –Terry Wood
Customer Review: I have used this CD for TEN YEARS…
As a massage therapist, this is the ONLY CD I have used consistently in my practice over the past TEN years. There is something about this particular CD that I absolutely love and that has not been duplicated in other CDs I have used (literally hundreds!) Steven Halpern comes up with awesome music! I have many of his other CDs as well, but NOTHING comes close to “Gifts of the Angels”. I am now using my 3rd copy and will buy another when this one is worn out. Many of my clients ASK me to use it in their massage sessions and ask me where to find Halpern’s music. Superb.
