It has been said that James Galway's appeal crosses all musical boundaries. In this album, the Belfast-born Galway successfully crosses into Japanese music. But while Galway's talent with his flute is evident, like some others of Galway's non-classical albums, this music lacks technical challenges that might make one sit up and listen. These compositions are best described as peaceful, relaxing, and serene. Of course, there is nothing wrong with serenity. The title track, "Song of the Seashore," is typical of the entire album. It is beautiful yet pacific. Still, some tracks deserve special mention. "Red Dragonfly" is quite romantic and nostalgic and even, at times, Celtic sounding. The traditional "Lullaby" hovers between sweet and bittersweet. And the "Cherry Blossom" track composed by Hagoromo Takeshima and Rentaro Taki (confusingly, there are two other tracks with the same name) is by far the liveliest of the tunes. Harpist Ayako Shinozaki and the Tokyo String Orchestra conducted by Hiroyuki Iwaki accompany Galway in this album that is best appreciated with a candlelit dinner, someone special, and, if you like, a little sake.
