Review by Rafael Peixoto

Castalia by Mark Isham is a stunning album that showcases the artist's incredible musical talent. The album is a collection of beautifully crafted instrumental pieces that evoke a sense of tranquility and calmness. The album is a perfect blend of ambient and new age music, with each track taking the listener on a journey through different emotions and moods.

The album starts with the track "Castalia," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The track is a beautiful mix of piano and electronic sounds that create a serene atmosphere. The album then moves on to "The Wind Will Carry Us," which is a more upbeat track that uses percussion and guitar to create a lively and energetic sound.

Throughout the album, Isham's use of different instruments and sounds is impressive. He seamlessly blends electronic and acoustic sounds to create a unique and captivating sound. The album's standout tracks include "Into the Blue," "The Crossing," and "The Sun Also Rises," which are all beautiful pieces that showcase Isham's musical prowess.

Mark Isham (b. September 7, 1951, in New York) is an American trumpeter, synthesist and Academy Award-nominated composer. He works in a variety of genres, including jazz, electronic and film music. Isham studied classical music, but also became interested in jazz, rock, and pop music. During the 70s he became a touring and session musician in various assemblies (Charles Lloyd, Beach Boys, Van Morrison) and appeared later as guest musician on many releases of well-known artists (David Sylvian, Rolling Stones, Susan Vega). His early solo releases during the 80s had a strong emphasis on electronics, ranging from New Age (all Windham Hill releases) to abstract (soundtracks). During the 90s Isham rediscovered his roots in (contemporary) classical music and jazz and blended these genres in many releases of this incredibly productive period of his career.

Summary by Rafael Peixoto

Castalia is a must-listen for anyone who appreciates instrumental music. The album is a masterclass in ambient and new age music, and Isham's musical talent is on full display throughout. The album is a perfect soundtrack for relaxation, meditation, or just unwinding after a long day. Highly recommended.

Mark Isham received a well-deserved Grammy Award nomination for Castalia in 1989. Isham's muted trumpet playing produces a cool, melodic, moody and warm sound. He's a unique talent with just an endless amount of ability. I've been a fan of his music for years but am especially fond of the work he produced in the 1980s, specifically Vapor Drawings, Tibet, The Hitcher (soundtrack) and The Moderns (soundtrack). Castalia, is another personal favourite. Atmospheric, beautiful, intimate and romantic, "In the Warmth of Your Night," and "My Wife With Champagne Shoulders" are album highlights. The aforementioned compositions are gorgeous, sensuous, sweeping and emotional epics that should warm even those with the coldest of hearts. Castalia is an excellent introduction to Mark Isham's music.
