"Graceful and pacific, soothing and tranquil, lilting and gently serendipitous." Salt Lake Deseret News.

"Delicious, relaxing, well performed, recorded and arranged, Highstein’s intelligent writing suggests chamber orchestra level instrumentation. Max Highstein’s Stars is a masterpiece..." Western Great Lakes Entertainment Guide.

ABOUT THIS ALBUM
Flute, oboe, English horn, cello, and clarinet join in a joyous dance with composer/performer Max Highstein's shimmering piano and synthesizers. Exquisite orchestrations, joyful melodies and a rich healing touch combine to create an album that nurtures the heart, inspires the soul!

From Max: "Stars offers more variety than any of my other albums. It came before Touch the Sky, was originally titled The Healer's Touch (back in the pre-CD days), and then was rereleased on CD as Stars. When I composed this album I was exploring a way of arranging music that I would continue to develop and apply on all my work. You can hear several distinct styles of music arranging and piano playing on Stars. Many of the great players who joined me on Touch the Sky also played on Stars, and the album enjoyed similar radio airplay. I hope you'll find Stars entertaining and satisfying."
