A totally awsome album! While this album departs from the other Secret Gardens by having 3 vocals, two of them Greenwaves and Gates Of Dawn very nicely fit in with the mood of the instrumentals. The first vocal You Raise Me Up is beautiful but does not really fit with the overall mood and style of the rest of the album. Not bad, but definitely a mood changer.

This is the second Secret Garden CD I have purchased, and it's as beautiful, if not more beautiful, than the first. Wonderful selections and the arrangements are just gorgeous to listen to. I immediately purchased this as a gift for a good friend who also very much enjoys listening to Secret Garden.

Every time a new Secret Garden album comes along, it sounds just that bit more special than the last, and I expect the bubble to break and everyone will be talking about them. However, to date they still seem to be low key and little heard of. Maybe this wonderful album will be the one to turn that around!
The mix of Norwegian classical orchestration with the most beautiful and evocative in Celtic music, makes for a sublimely uplifting and relaxing experience. This is not just chill out music, but music to inspire.
The collaborators, particularly Brian Kennedy and Karen Matheson add a wonderful extra element which lets the music really breathe, and means the listener will never get bored with the CD - you'll be able to listen to this over and over and over again, making this the best value CD you will buy this year.
February 10, 2007This music will speak to your soul. I have listened to Secret Garden for years. I watched a movie and the composer's music seemed to just speak to my soul. Listening to this music will totally relax you. I have since ordered all of his music.

"Once In a Red Moon" is a beautiful album, probably my favorite by Secret Garden. I especially love "Greenwaves" and the original version of "You Raise Me Up", but the other ten tracks are also wonderful. This music is beautiful, soothing, and artistically done. Also, it's easy to listen to over and over - I have listened to it so many times, but I'm not tired of it yet.
