The Portraits of Nature Series
"This handsome set blends the sounds of nature with Kurnow''s improvisations on harp, keyboards and - a homey touch - harmonica. I was pleasantly relaxed by most of the pieces but was delightfully surprised by several up-energy pieces, accents that kept the mood from getting too dreamy. Forest Reflections will refresh you with bird songs, cheery brooks, and alpine mists. Mountain Mysteries has its birds, but also offers the strength of thunder and rock. ''Appalachian Sunrise'' takes you to a back-porch jam with a Tennessee warbler, while ''Legends of the Himalayas'' introduces the mysteries of Tibet. Water, wind, seagulls, flapping sails and insect swarms flavor the Lake Impressions album."
CAROL WRIGHT, NAPRA REVIEW

The Portraits of Nature Series
"Bruce clearly has a large and enthusiastic following. The music ranges from gentle, soothing cuts such as ''Alpine Mist'' to the very active ''Chasing the Storm,'' both on Forest Reflections. All three of these albums work very well...strongly evoking nature in many of her endless ways of presenting herself to us. The covers of all three albums are beautiful...Combined with in-store play, they should be strong sellers..."
