I’m a classic rock n’ roller at heart, but I find that most days when I listen to music I’m drawn more and more to classical/new age/relaxing style melodies. With that in mind I want to tell you about a new CD coming out later this week that is one of my favorites to relax to - The Modern Romantic: New Relaxing Classical Piano Music by Grammy® Winning Composer and Recording Artist Laura Sullivan.

You may recall that I talked about another of Laura’s CDs, CALM WITHIN: Music for Relaxation of Body and Mind, earlier this year. Well, she has another delightful CD releasing this week and I’ve had the pleasure of listening to it beforehand. 

The CD contains 10 enchanting songs making it difficult to select just one favorite. I’d have to say Fairytale Waltz and Finding You Finding Me are two prime examples of the mesmerizing melodies you’ll find on this CD.

All of the music is relaxing and invigorating at the same time. The smooth strains will transport you to a more tranquil atmosphere. Listening to the CD is a perfect way to unwind and de-stress after a long day of work.

Once you start listening to this soothing music you can feel the tensions of the day wash away. This will quickly be one of those CDs you play over and over again.

Calm Within by Laura Sullivan

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season and the new year, we sometimes feel overwhelmed with stress. Even on a day-to-day basis, we get stressed out putting our nerves on edge.

I had the great fortunate to be able to listen to a new CD release over the holidays that was quite refreshing and most calming.

Grammy® Winning Composer and Recording Artist Laura Sullivan’s new CD -- CALM WITHIN: Music for Relaxation of Body and Mind – is truly amazing. Each track is uplifting and revitalizing. The tracks are soothing, not harsh and hurried.

This is music you can listen to while relaxing in the tub, just resting in a chair, doing your yoga workout, meditating or even when you’re busy doing work at home or the office. This relaxing music will make you think you’re in a spa setting with its smooth tones. 

The CD contains 10 songs with my two favorites being Inner Harmony and Gratitude. 

If you’re searching for a way to relax, give this CD a try. You’ll find the music draws you in and you are held captive until the last note.
