"Harpist Lisa Lynne and George Tortorelli (flute maker and bamboo flutist extraordinaire) came together on this beautiful album, Love & Peace. Jointly they created a simple, harmonious, yet cosmopolitan production. If you have ever seen them perform live together, this is exactly what they sound like. George's bamboo flute and panpipes, with Lisa's Celtic harp, create a tranquil and relaxing CD. The whole album consists of long songs and slow-tempo soft music, captured in seventy-three minutes of listening enchantment." -- Honey Harris, KBAC "Lisa Lynne's Celtic harp music is a soothing addition to our programs for both patients and staff." -- Neal Statkin, MD

Lisa Lynne, with over 500,000 records sold, is cherished by healing communities around the world. She is a self-taught musician who has ascended the ladder of success, from humble beginnings to starting her own production company and signing with the prestigious Windham Hill and New Earth Records labels. Her recent releases have all placed in the Top 20 of the Billboard music charts(Hopes & Dreams reaching #6), and have held top positions in the Celtic, new age, and world music radio airplay charts.
George Tortorelli is a master bamboo flute designer and player. After moving to the forests of North Florida, he discovered and nurtured an abundance of bamboo on his land, and commenced expanding his growing flute collection with flutes of his own design. His music and concerts were so loved by surrounding communities that he became known as "Medicine Wind" for the healing quality of his peaceful gatherings.
It was at such a festival that Lisa Lynne & George Tortorelli met. After an exchange of albums, it became apparent that their individual music was very much kindred. So they collaborated, and it was a match made in heaven--the Celtic harp and bamboo flute are two of the most ancient and beloved instruments. Since February 1997, they have been spellbinding audiences with their magical and endearing sound. The two artists have recorded seven albums together, and perform nonstop. They are featured at the country's finest art fairs, music festivals, and performing arts centers as part of the Windham Hill Winter Solstice Concert Series.
