PREVIOUS NEW AGE CD PREVIEWS
Alan Campbell's Choice:
Paradise
Narada recording artists Tingstad & Rumbel are performer/composers who have been presenting their
contemporary folk music throughout North America since the mid-'80s. Eric Tingstad, a classical guitarist,
and Nancy Rumbel, who plays oboe, English horn, and ocarina, began their association after meeting at a
music festival in the Pacific Northwest. They were drawn together by a shared interest in applying their
instruments outside their traditional settings, integrating ethnic, jazz, rock, and other contemporary
influences into their classical backgrounds. Their neo-classical instrumentals mixed with a warm folk
treatment has been called "Northwestern Impressionism" and brought the attention of new age label
Narada who released their holiday-themed album, The Gift, in 1985. Extensive touring throughout small
towns in the U.S. and Canada built an avid fan base, expanding their exposure to new and more diverse
audiences.
