A sound of celestial breath
Making you dizzy with love…

A song of peace and quiet. Sounds penetrating into the innermost depths of your essence. There is an inexhaustible love and calm for a restless mind in them. These simple flute’s sounds evoke the eternity breathing.

You can’t tear yourself away while listening “Enchanted Wind”, you just fall within the flow of celestial breath. You feel it and this breath passes through you. All of a sudden you realize how empty and hollow you are. And your emptiness increases, the inner borders and walls diffuse more and more. You become absolutely cored inside you. But together with breathing the joy and love come. And this love is as everlasting as the universe is, it is as boundless as you yourself are.

Suzanne Teng’s new album is an inestimable gift. It is hard to compare its profundity with something else for the “Enchanted Wind” is music-meditation.

Suzanne Teng plays the very assorted flutes: from simple ones to exotic ones. I was staggered with unusual sounding of a contrabass flute in the “Loltun” composition. There is something savage, primeval in the sounds of this flute. And moreover in its sounding the organ’s power and volume are felt. And in general the voluminosity is an outstanding feature of Suzanne Teng’s art. Her compositions are three-dimensional pictures tending to infinity.

Gilbert Levy, Suzanne Teng’s husband and partner assisted her in album recording. He creates a very gentle and delicate entourage for Suzanne’s flutes. Music of “Enchanted Wind” forms a protective cocoon around a listener which blockades all negative effects.

You just want to live with this music. The world would be much poorer without it. “Enchanted Wind” is another, a higher quality of consciousness. And while listening to this album you desire to comply with it. And it proves to be not in the least complicated…

Within the sounds of a flute
You fly away
To where an enchanted wind
Takes you with it.
