Omschrijving:
The second in the trilogy of Asher's new-age compilation albums, "Sketches of Innocence" is predominantly made up of improvised piano sketches, some 'naked' as it were, and some lightly orchestrated. The melodies are playful, innocent and restful, and also very visual. There is a pastoral feel to the music, and, as so often in Asher's music, hints of the Celtic folk tradition as well as Jewish, Mediterranean, central European and Russian flourishes too. As with "Concert of Angels", by the way, children seem enthralled by this music... it is very calming and freeing.
