Hello Friends: Christopher Young‘s “The Hellbound Heart” is lightning in a bottle; it’s one of those compositions that crosses that line that separates music and feeling, and fuzzies the boundaries entirely. It starts with this mellifluous, smoky flute fantasy that ties us up in ethereal knots and carries us into...READ MORE...
