Artist Bio:

Composer and songwriter Gary Stadler combines melodic elements of world beat and symphonic wizardry to be one of the new millennium's forerunners in new age music. He joined Sequoia Records in 1996 with his premier album, Fairy of the Woods, a collection of enchanted Celtic compositions that brings legends and myths of Fairy folk to life. Vocalist Laura Drew, also known as Singh Kaur and Lorallei with previous albums, lent her voice to Stadler's 1998 Celtic inspired album Fairy Nightsongs. This album is filled with haunting melodies, tender lullabies and timeless visions of Celtic fairy traditions.

In 2000, Gary began working with another graceful chanteuse by the name of Stephannie. Her magical bell sweet voice and unique fairy language is also joined by the well-known Celtic Harpist Lisa Lynne for Gary’s third album Fairy Heartmagic. Each song like a page from a Fairy tale book, portrays both a delicate and delightful innocence to a deep wisdom and mysterious grandeur. This album was the Runner Up in the World title category at the International New Age Trade Show in 2001. Gary’s fourth album, Reflections of Faerie, was just released this August. Gary’s trademark piano is featured, plus classical guitar, Cello, Vocal Choirs as well as the lovely Harp artistry of Lisa Lynne.

There is a simple beauty and magic in this sweet instrumental music, which comforts and warms the heart. His fifth album is to follow in 2004, which is a collaboration with harpist Lisa Lynne and vocalist Wendy Rule.

For Fall of 2004, Gary joins with Wendy Rule for more Faerie wonderment in Deep Within A Faerie Forest.  

Review:

Reflections of Faerie

Brian Binkelman/Wind & Wire

"On this, his fourth "faerie" music recording, Gary Stadler pulls back from the reliance on electronic keyboards of his earlier releases and emphasizes the sounds of acoustic instruments….. Stadler himself plays grand piano, guitar, cello, string bass, acoustic bass guitar, and some sparse synthesizers. ‘Reflections of Faerie’ has less of an ethereal quality and more of a renaissance/early music/classical feel at times. Of course, the songs are still wonderfully soft and peaceful pieces that invite repose and reflection, a stilling of the heart and quieting of the soul. The overall mood of the CD is ….a simple beauty and an unassuming charm. I’m inclined to instead judge this to be a more refined musical statement, not so much because the music is softer, but because by stripping away the ethereal aspect of the faerie kingdom, Stadler has revealed a more earthbound majesty and subtle sense of awe. Piano fans should enjoy the album a lot, as many times it is that instrument which carries the lead line and does most of the melodic work. There are touches here and there of "deep dark woods" mystical music….the calm inherent in these gentle melodies and the peace that permeates them should offer stress relief in abundance to souls wearied by this modern world."
