Review by Manque Cualquin

A Windham Hill Retrospective by Mark Isham is a stunning tribute to the iconic record label that revolutionized the world of New Age music. The album features 14 tracks that showcase Isham's remarkable musicianship and his deep appreciation for the Windham Hill sound.

From the delicate piano melodies of "In a Silent Way" to the sweeping orchestration of "On the Threshold of Liberty," Isham's compositions capture the essence of the label's signature style. There is a sense of tranquility and introspection that permeates the entire album, making it perfect for relaxation, meditation, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home.

One of the standout tracks is "The Impressionist Suite," which features Isham's haunting trumpet playing over a lush, cinematic backdrop. The song is a testament to Isham's versatility as a musician, and his ability to blend different genres and styles into a cohesive whole.
