Two Steps From Heaven: Best of Origen 1996-2013

Two Steps from Heaven" is a lovely, soothing and peaceful album that delivers a true musical experience, as Origen brings Classical music into the 21st Century New Age era. The album covers the sound Origen has been doing since the start of his career in 1995. It has a very dramatic flair, and a sense of momentum and power, while at the same time exuding a gentle, soothing and ethereal nature. It is the very essence of what he achieves by crossing Classics with modern New Age and Ambient flavors. The type of physical and emotional feeling that you will receive from this music is not easily expressible in earthly words. I urge you to listen and be whisked away to a place where we all belong. Each track of sounds offers something beautiful and just as indescribable. Glorious, heavenly, celestial, esoteric: these are just a few words that come to my mind when trying to explain this music. Origen gives a thorough and personal working over to Donizetti- aria Una Fortiva Lagrima, Handel - Lascia Ch'io Pianga, Mozart - Requiem, Lacrimosa, Ave Maria by Schubert, among others. Obviously, these pieces would never be complete without Tanya Lubimenko a singer of the Ukrainian National Opera House, whose voice is possibly one of the most beautiful voices on this planet. Her singing wafted to my ears like a melodic and healing balm, the harmony and perfection of each vocal rendition so comforting and embracing. Origen and Tanya have crafted a masterful collection of music that just makes you feel better, and calmer, about being exactly whom and where you are. If you love Sarah Brightman, Jackie Evancho, Andrea Bochelli, Susan Boyle, Josh Groban this CD will be a great addition to your musical collection that can be used in a variety of situations to add a calming, relaxing, soothing ambiance.
