 Probably "Slow Dance" is the most "fascinating" thing I have ever heard, a suite of rare beauty that at times can evoke intense emotions!

 A work as beautiful as it is unfortunately unknown to many, telling us of maidens and knights, battles, and loves in the purest romantic chivalric style, woven in sonic textures that caress medieval folk and transport us far away, to a world where the spontaneity of music could still open people's hearts... as they looked up at the geese flying westward.
