Reviews

  • "Some of my friends in the music business will undoubtedly dismiss this music on the grounds that it sounds too good to be good. I hereby lodge my dissenting opinion."

    – Fanfare

  • "Bell's compositional style is suave, personal, inventive, and intriguing. ...The music surrounds the listener with a sense of spirituality and joy. Superbly performed on this disc, Bell's music possesses a unique beauty that has direct appeal. It is definitely worth hearing."
