"I am told of a fourteen-year-old schizophrenic boy, mute for some years, who began to practice Yoga while listening to music in the background. As the relaxing sounds of the music played, he approached his teacher and spoke for the first time in years, 'That music is enough to break your heart.'

"The music he was listening to was Daniel Kobialka's Fragrances of a Dream."

- Lloyd J. Thomas, PhD. , Spectrum Wellness Center Clinical Director (from a magazine article written for "Quality Living" by Dr. Thomas)

Turn down the lights, turn off the phone, and settle in for relaxation music by Erik Satie, a distinctive blending of Bach and Procol Harum, and a Kobialka original that all combine to rise like an ambrosial fragrance, in peaceful, dreamlike billows.

Kobialka distills the essence from Eric Satie's Trois Gymnopedies - the harp is a lovely touch! - and expands it into a lush arrangement for multi-layered violins. His ingenius interweaving of Bach's Air on a G String with the Procol Harum classic A Whiter Shade of Pale is one of those "but of course!" experiences. The album concludes with the other-worldly quality of prolonged notes and subtle nuances in Kobialka's own delicate Mystique.

Fragrances of a Dream calls for a quiet candlelit dinner or spa environment, relaxation and peace at last!
