WINNER: Album of the Year 2024 (OWMR, UK), TWO NOMINATIONS (New Age Notes, USA)

"AYRES by David Lanz & Kristin Amarie is a rarity, it is one of those albums that is quite stunning in all its multi-faceted ways, it is indeed akin to a musical diamond, a collection of breath taking opuses that shine from its inception to as far as any musical horizon that is possible. AYRES by David Lanz & Kristin Amarie is an album for the ages, and without a shadow of a doubt one of the best releases I have heard so far in this decade with utter ease." S. Sheppard, OWMR, UK.

"AYRE “... a song-like vocal or instrumental composition." And with that, The Oxford Dictionary of Music, has easily summed up the wide selection of music found on David Lanz and Kristin Amarie's latest masterwork, AYRES. Herein you will find, intimate vocal and solo piano performances along side sweeping orchestral arrangements in support of vocals, choir and several instrumentals centered around the piano and cello.
