Pisces Projekt's husband and wife team Zakhuur and Sinari are based in Maine. Zakhuur is an accomplished composer, songwriter and vocalist who has performed with the Roger Wagner Chorale and the Citrus Singers (under director Ben Bollinger) and has a successful solo career under his own record labels. Sinari has received acclaim for her gifted voice and makes her recording debut here with Zakhuur as Pisces Projekt.

The CD's title is a fitting one; Opera, meaning both work of art and an operatic performance.

This is not just another new age CD. Opera is one of those CD's that you get once in a great while that demands your attention to its majestic offerings. Stunning and magnificent! I am blown away by this enchanting music featuring royally angelic voices mixed with Gregorian chants. The balance that Zakhuur and Sinari bring to this CD is magical.

If I had to compare this group with other New Age artists the closest would be a group called Twinflame mixed with another from Germany, Leseim. Both Twinflame and Leseim are favorites so this is a huge compliment to Pisces Projekt. But, really, Pisces Projekt is in a class all their own. They are innovative and mind-blowingly creative. Pisces Projekt reminds me of music you would find coming straight from Camelot!

SUCH PASSION! What else can I say? Songs like "Lovers Waltz" and "Battle Song" sound like there is a huge angel choir singing in the background. Amazingly, it's just them. Other favorites on this release are "I Am", "Admonition" and "Last Man Standing". The beauty, grace and tremendous talent shine through on this CD.

I am blown away at how intense and beautiful these songs are - eight total on the disc. I can't stop playing it!

Would I suggest this CD for anyone looking for quality New Age music? My answer to that is 100% YES!
