about this album
Eolian Minstrel features the 'classic' Vollenweider-sound with the voices of the two American singer/songwriters Eliza Gilkyson and Carly Simon. Andreas describes the new addition of the voice as an 'adventure' and an 'extended listening experience', which was somewhat different to his other, mainly instrumental albums. But it is not only the vocal enhancement, which makes Eolian Minstrel a special album; it is also the musical imprints and the many impressive contributions of a number of exceptional instrumentalists. Beside his friends from the early days, Walter Keiser (drums), Pedro Haldemann (percussion), Christoph Stiefel (organ), Max Laesser (guitars), we will also find new musical impulses from Marc Portmann (guitars), Eberhard Hahn (wind instruments), Ernst Stroer (percussion), Sandro Friedrich (ethnic wind instruments), Thomas Fessler (guitars, pipa), Richard Greene (fiddle), Matthieu Michel (trumpet). Besides her wonderful voice, Eliza Gilkyson's contribution also also includes guitars and percussion. For the first time, the long time friendship of Andreas with American songwriter Carly Simon resulted in a very poetic and personal song; 'Private Fires'.
