John
Diliberto, Host of "Echoes"
"As
The Luminous World Orchestra, Steven Chesne makes
a subtle music whose deceptively austere arrangements
result in a lush emotional resonance..."

someplace worth going.”

"New
Age Reporter"
December Music Review |
"...The
list of awards that Steven Chesne has garnered is staggering
and longer than this review..."
"...His quixotic collusion among ethnic instruments
and the orchestra is unique, refreshing and above all
else, stimulating."
"...Although each album can be enjoyed immensely
on its own, I highly recommend that you pair up the
two for a long, long period of aural enjoyment and sensual
inspiration. The Luminous World Orchestra is
enlightening."
