Inna Breeze - Stairway to Heaven
Composer Inna Breeze’s composition titled Stairway To Heaven is unusual in that it is one of the very few, if not the only, symphonic work to be released on an internet record label. The symphonic poem, which has no connection to the Led Zeppelin song, was performed in 2008 at the Moscow Composers Centre by The Russian Philharmonia Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Sergey Kondrashev. The soloist on pipe organ is Tatyana Karamysheva. It is a lush work that should please all ears. Inna Astakhova aka Inna Breeze, unlike many modern composers, has eschewed cacophony for “beautiful melody, positive mood and lack of internal conflicts”. Her focus appears to be in awakening the soul of the listener. In this sense, her music could be called new age. Whatever it is classified the artist has a distinct talent in orchestration and a knack for creating a sense of spirituality out of an array of sounds. This is an interesting and beautiful composition.
Stairway to Heaven is available from the Top-40 net label in 160kbps MP3.
Very good. Reminds me of Aaron Copeland and Vaughn Williams - expansive,bright and enhancing music. Well played and a good recording too. I rarely listen to “classical” music these days but this has made me want to go back to my collection and root out a few recordings. Thank you.

i’m in agreement: it’s classical. don’t see “new age” angle, and for me, that’s often a kiss of death.
