Album Description
The internationally acclaimed ensemble Ahn Trio makes its Sony BMG Masterworks debut with Lullaby for my Favorite Insomniac. Sisters Angella (violin), Lucia (piano) and Maria (cello) continue their commitment to modernize and reinvent the standard piano-trio repertoire and structure on this new album. Lullaby for my Favorite Insomniac is a fusion of established works with material specially commissioned for the trio. Included on the record are several tracks that build on the music of fellow Julliard-graduate and award-winning composer Kenji Bunch, a variety of commissioned works by Michael Nyman and Astor Piazzolla and innovative arrangements of music by Pat Metheny and David Bowie. The trio is joined vocally on the record by singer-songwriter Susie Suh. As a special addition, four bonus tracks are included with the new album, which features remixes by Tao of Sound, DJ Spooky, Superdrive and Ra.D.

 Brings up good memories May 20, 2009
C. Dobey (Los Gatos, CA USA)
Ahhh this was my first introduction to the Ahn Trio, and what a trio they are. If you want a CD to listen to while looking out a window on a rainy day, this is it.
 Very interesting and compelling.... March 1, 2009
Suzette (Columbia, MO)
This CD is unique; for those who think they don't like classical music, check this out...it's a one-of-a-kind modern take on Piano Trio music with unique and very listenable arrangements. The Ahn sisters are stunning as always in their musicality and play as one instrument. They are sensational in live performance as well!
Their best work January 3, 2009
B. Stockwell (Cincinnati)
The album contains some of the most moving and wonderful music the Ahn Trio have ever preformed. It's classic Ahn, soothing yet intricate melodies, with new elements that take the music to the next level. Even the songs from their previous albums ( Oblivion and This is not America, for two) feel new and sound great.
Perfect with a glass of wine on a stay at home day August 29, 2008
H. Ritchey (NY)
I've enjoyed listening to the CD so far. It makes me wish for a winter day, sitting on my couch in front of a fire, with a nice glass of wine and a great book and this music in the background.
I grew up listening to a lot of classical, and it's refreshing to have the "classical" sound without simply another group rehashing the same old melodies. Don't get me wrong, I love Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, etc. but I don't always want to hear them. This is a good alternative, and the extra flourishes and addition of vocals on a couple of the tracks kept me intrigued throughout my first listening.
It's classical, but not something you'll already have memorized. After all the heavily synthesized, dubbed, blended music that populates the air waves today, you'll appreciate hearing actual instruments blended together in harmony.
 New Age Music July 14, 2008

Here's a tip for you: if someone feels it necessary to say certain music is not New Age, you can be pretty sure it is. This is pleasant, anesthetic, soporific background music. Listen to the samples carefully before you buy.
