Customer reviews of State of Grace II: Turning to Peace

Customer Rating:

Summary: State of Grace II: Turning to Peace
Comment: This album and State of Grace I are OUTSTANDING. Beautiful easy listening with a beat. A "must listen to" album. I totally recommend it.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Great sequel to 1
Comment: This is a great follow-up to State of Grace 1. The vocals are brilliant. Put this CD on after a day of shopping and errands and relax with a glass of wine, a cup of hot chocolate or your favorite coffee drink. I bought all of Paul Schwartz's productions without hesitation and have not been disappointed yet.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Beautiful music.
Comment: I've ordered this for several friends who were dealing with difficult situations in their lives. This beautiful music brings peace to whomever listens to it. One of my favorite CDs.

Customer Rating:

Summary: State of Grace II
Comment: This is a wonderful collection of music - even better than the first State of Grace CD. Even if you don't know Latin, the melodies of those pieces are very moving, as are the more modern English language songs. I absolutely love it!

Customer Rating:

Summary: State of Grace II not the "bang" that SG I was...
Comment: I was so impressed with the quite forcefulness and spirituality of SG I that I couldnt wait for the 2nd release. After reviewing SG II, I am a bit disappointed personally. I love almost all of Paul Schwartz work, however this one just had the feeling of "trying too hard to be something that it was not." Not nearly as "powerful" without being overbearing as SG I was... but I'll take it for what it is... metaspiritual new-age relaxing music. Until next time I remain...

Editorial Reviews:

Paul Schwartz is back with a follow-up to the popular series State of Grace, with State of Grace II: Turning To Peace. Having always been drawn to the great Latin texts that have inspired so many great composers before him, State of Grace II: Turning To Peace is based on two Latin texts: the Magnificat and the Stabat Mater.

"The Magnificat is taken directly from the Bible, from the Gospel of Luke: it is the prayer of Mary expressing her joy in the knowledge that she will bear the son of God. The Stabat Mater is a medieval poem that describes the sorrows of Mary as her son’s life is taken. I wanted to oppose the two images: the rejoicing expectant mother, and the eventual tragedy that overcomes her. These texts and the other songs on the album form a journey from joy, to sorrow, to joy again." … Paul Schwartz

With Lisbeth Scott once again lending her vocal talents, this is possibly Schwartz’ most beautiful release yet!
