Music Design In Review
By this point, most fans of ethereal instrumental and new age music should be familiar with the whimsical lullabies of Gary Stadler. Inspired by the enchanting realm of the faeries, Stadler is joined by harpist/composer Lisa Lynne and weaves piano-based soundscapes that are heavy on celestial wistfulness and otherworldly beauty. REFLECTIONS OF FAERIE is aptly names, as this entry returns to Stadlers more acoustic and meditative roots. The albums is completely instrumental and relies more on natural instrumentation like piano, harp and guitar than electronic atmospherics as he has in the past. This is an album that would fit in well with your end-of-the-day cool down rituals; lie down on the couch, press play and let the faeries take you away to a land of eternal peace.

Wind and Wire
Reflections of Faerie has an ethereal quality and a renaissance/early music/classical feel... filled with wonderfully soft and peaceful pieces that invite repose and reflection, a stilling of the heart and quieting of the soul.
Steve Ryals, Syndicated Music Columnist
Since Stadler's first release, Fairy of the Woods, which he did entirely on synthesizers, his work has steadily shifted more and more towards acoustic instrumentation. Now, with Reflections of Faerie, he used almost no synthesizers at all, preferring to work with other musicians on music that comes ever more from the heart. Stadler plays grand piano, cello, harp, bass and more. In addition to Lisa Lynne on Celtic harp, Bruce Lawrence appears on guitar, Dr. Harold Grandstaff Moses on viola, and Sandy Schieffer and Tiffany Snow on background vocals. A truly exquisite album, Reflections of Faerie will be a welcome addition for meditation, massage and traveling to the heart of the world.
