About the Artist
Mahaeo (creator) knows me as Stephen Standing Owl of Northern Cheyenne descent. I began playing the Native flute about five years ago. I had never intended to play for the public. I just enjoyed the spirit of the flute. As I traveled to powwows I was asked to play my flutes to fill in time during the drum breaks, the response from the public was overwhelming, and eventually I was asked to be part of the programs at many of these powwows in the New England area. Since then I have played for audiences at schools, presentations on Native Culture, library systems, campgrounds and historical societies. I had the honor of opening on stage for Jeff Ball on two occasions. Jeff nominated for best flutist of the year in 1998, by the Native American Music Awards, and in 2001 won the Native Heart Award. I thank Jeff for it was he who unleashed the gift that Maheao bestowed in me at birth. During the past few years many people asked if I planned to make a recording. It was not until I met Tahakierente- Howard Lyons at a powwow that I even considered it. Howard is of the Mohawk Nation and is a singer, songwritre and producer. His recording of Hopes and Dreams nominated for best folk recording by the Native American Music Awards in 2001. Howard owns SkyDome Records in Bethlehem N.H. It was there that Night Flight was created. I have always respected the Native Story Tellers for it is they who keep the past alive. Not being blessed with the gift of verbal story telling I choose to tell stories with my flutes. Each song on Night Flight brings you on a journey. Listen to the flutes voices and hear their stories. Relax and enjoy!
Album Description
The voice of the Native American flute, accented by natural rhythms and acoustic guitar, played in a unique original style that tells a story to the heart and spirit.

For those who want the most remembered passages of classical music's best-loved works, here's a package for you. On this bargain priced double-CD, you'll find music from 40 different classical composers; for the most part, the recordings excerpted here are some of the very best. Of course, you only get one Bach sampling (Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring, played by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra) and one Mozart (A Little Night Music conducted by Herbert von Karajan), but this is still a nice collection--perhaps the starting point for a budding collection of classical music. This set's downfall? Unfortunately, though the liner notes discuss the evolution of classical music chronologically, the tracks are programmed in alphabetical order by composer's last name. This makes for some startling transitions! Emil Gilels's reflective performance of the Adagio from Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata is followed by the crashing cymbals and bombast of Carmen's "March of the Toreadors," a recipe for a heart attack if there ever was one. Still, there's something here for everyone and the liner notes even explain what movies this music can be found in. A nice touch. --Jason VerlindeCustomer Reviews:

Mega-Sampler! This really does have 99 tracks!.......2002-03-20
If you like burning your own CDs, then this is a great source for intra-track fillers, along the lines of They Might Be Giants' "Apollo 18" album, which has all of those short tracks on the end. The idea is to put your CD player on shuffle, so the short tracks get mixed in with the bona fide songs. The result being a very unusual album.
The booklet gives an explanation of the track, where you heard it (i.e. the Warner Brother's Cartoons, or on famous films), and where you can get the full piece of music. So it's a mega sampler CD.
I can honestly say that this CD is a great gift for the friend who has everything.

Rachmaninov: Transcriptions, Corelli Variations

Cliburn Competition medallist Olga Kern plays Rachmaninov as if he wrote this music just for her. She's a virtuoso in the grand tradition, playing with a huge tone and brilliant fingerwork, captured with life-like realism by the engineers. The big work here is the Corelli Variations, a fiendishly difficult set of twenty variations on a Baroque sarabande, La Folia. The composer wrote it to wow his audiences, but it's also serious, full of with dark-toned poetry, serene lyricism, and a huge climax that ends in a poignant coda. Kern plays it with tremendous power and fleet agility. The rest of the disc consists of Rachmaninov's transcriptions of his own and other composers' music, ranging from romanticized Bach to an opulent rewrite of Schubert's Wohin? to his elaborate cadenza for Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Kern plays the Liszt with plenty of dash, evoking its gypsy flavor and exploiting its opportunities for virtuosity. Here's one competition winner who seems destined for stardom. -- Dan DavisCustomer Reviews:
