  • Incredibly soothing

    By MTS Music
    This is my favorite instrumental album of the year. I highly recommend this project to anyone who needs relaxation in their lives. My wife and I bought multiple copies of this album to give to friends because we live it so much. Technically this a brilliant album with over 100 Musician's from around the world, including fellow Grammy winners Ricky Kej and Rocio Marron. I only say that to build the credibility for this album for those who care about that stuff, but for the average listener, just know that this is an incredibly soothing album worth purchasing and sharing with friends.

    Every note that flows out of this exquisite album is filled with joy, hope and soul. It captures the human condition with tenderness and depth. It brings joy, tears of awe, and feeling of peace in my heart every time I listen to it. The fusion of world music with classical inspirations and with Wouter's mysterious and soaring flutes is a most musically exciting experience. Highly recommended!!
  • Wouter Kellerman does not disappoint, as usual!

    As has come to be expected from Wouter Kellerman, this is an album of extraordinarily beautiful music. My personal favorite is Aishwarya (if you haven't seen the video for it, find it!), which paints such a picture with music that a video is almost not necessary. I keep it in my car to help keep me in a positive frame of mind of my way to gigs. Everything about this album of music is uplifting. Enjoy!
  • A feast for the ears and heart!

    LOVE LANGUAGE is a wonderful album on so many levels and is a testament not only to Wouter Kellerman's gift as a world class performer and musician but, also as a producer and arranger. Leading the way with his outstanding and stellar flute performances, Wouterman takes you on a global journey of sound through this beautifully recorded collection of songs - A feast for the ears and heart! Stunning! Standouts are "Guarjira", "Winter' (featuring the Soweto Gospel choir), 'Aishwarya' and 'Shenandoah' - I recommend listening and often!
  • If music be the 'Food of Love' then this is the Language

    There are many languages for love but Wouter Kellerman's LOVE LANGUAGE transcends the need for words and speaks to the heart through the language of music. He and his flute become the voice of love itself, as he carries us through a rich and transporting journey - with music that is all at once, moving and beautiful and evocative on so many levels. Particularly favourites were "Winter' 'Turning Page' 'Love gets Old' and 'Up to the Mountain' but, then again - I pretty much loved them all! Listen and listen again - rinse and repeat!

    "Love Language" is the fourth release from South African flutist Wouter Kellerman. Kellerman and frequent collaborator Ricky Kej were awarded the Grammy for “Best New Age Album” for their 2014 release, "Winds of Samsara," which was also awarded “Album of the Year” and “Best World Album” by Zone Music Reporter. The category of World Music is a broad one, but few artists successfully assimilate such a wide variety of music from so many different places and cultures. Love Language encapsulates the countless ways we as humans connect on the topics of life and love and the countless languages with which we speak of the universal connection that binds us to one another. Quoting the liner notes: “That simple choice to take as one’s native tongue caring and compassion, not just for a partner or family member but for everyone around you, is the seed from which this album project grew.” From the music of Africa to western classical music to jazz to gospel and on, Kellerman captures the spirit of what it is to be a truly alive and loving person. Supported by an amazing group of musicians that includes Ricky Kej, Jennifer Thomas, Ciro Hurtado, Chong Lim, and Todd Boston (to name only a few), Kellerman has created a musical epic sure to be a contender for major awards again next year. "Love Language" begins with “Aishwarya,” a piece composed and arranged by Ricky Kej, and recorded across thousands of miles. It speaks of the love we must have for ourselves in order to take great risks and follow even greater dreams. Powerful yet haunting, Kellerman’s flute soars to the heavens along with full orchestration and choral back-up. Next is an incredible arrangement of Vivaldi’s “Winter” that features Soweto Gospel Choir and The Australian Urban Orchestra (strings), melding very different musical approaches into a beautiful union. “Si Do Mhaimeo” is a traditional Irish song that dances and swirls to Kellerman’s playful and lively flute along with driving percussion, guitars, marimba, strings, and keyboards - joy set to music! “Up to the Mountain” is a stirring, gospel-infused piece composed by Patty Griffin after a quote by Martin Luther King, Jr. “Zininzi” is a Kellerman original with South African a cappella group The Soil that celebrates the hills and meadows of the countryside. “To Tango Tis Nefelis” goes in a completely different direction, telling the story of a cloud nymph who is pursued and mistreated by two mischievous angels who are enamored with her. Cool and sensuous, it’s a beauty! “Shenandoah” has always been one of my favorite American folk songs, and this arrangement is gorgeous. The song has several sets of lyrics, and this version tells of the love between a French trader and the daughter of a Native American chief. Kellerman’s flute poignantly expresses deep longing and love. “The Long Road” is an extraordinary flute solo composed as a biographical tribute to Nelson Mandela. Kellerman performed this piece on Nelson Mandela Day in August 2013 in a South African stadium of 80,000 people plus a television audience. I’ve never heard anything like this piece and am blown away by both the heartfelt expression of the flute and the vocal percussion - a must-hear! “Ek Verlang Na Jou” was a big hit in South Africa when Kellerman was in grade school, and this lovely arrangement gives it new life with vocals by Anna Davel accompanied by gently swaying rhythms and soulful flute. The traditional “Love Gets Old” brings this wonderful album to a close with heartbreaking emotion expressed as simple truth. Wow! "Love Language" is a thrilling and uplifting musical journey through the many faces and facets of love, expressed from the heart and soul of a true artist. Be sure to check this one out! Very highly recommended!

    Love Language is well rounded and beautiful. Kellerman’s mastery is present in all the pieces, they are crisp and comforting at the same time. Including a broad spectrum of other musical talents, the Soweto Gospel Choir, for example, makes the work really listenable a soothing and elegant background. A most enjoyable recording.

    Love Language is transcendentally transporting. Unfolding beauty...building rhythmic intensity, with a kaleidoscope of world cultural influences. And the flute envelops you.

    14 tracks, a journey around the world, stopping only to dance...from the gospel tinged trek Up the Mountain, to the African chants of Zininzi, to my favorite Turning Page with the beautiful voice of Jenna Lavoie, this album takes you to a place that you'll want to linger for a long long time. Highly recommended!
