Even if you've never heard the music of Secret Garden, you've probably seen the film, or rather, the countless films that tell tales of passion and unrequited love. Secret Garden's soaring violins and elegantly spare piano work make their songs ideal for wedding ceremonies, but that isn't to diminish the group's potency.

On SONGS FROM A SECRET GARDEN, composer-pianist Rolf Lovland and violinist Fionnuala Sherry draw liberally, and often simultaneously, from their Norwegian and Irish backgrounds, whether on the spirited "The Rap," the delicately framed "Papillon," or the elegiac "Chaconne."
