"If there are such things as musical constants in the universe, Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel must appear on any such list. Few, if any, artists consistently, through the years, have delivered such a consistent flow of quality music. The duo who hails from the Pacific Northwest are possessed of unassailable integrity and immense talent. Acoustic instrumental music simply doesnt get any better period. It shouldnt come as any surprise that these two supremely talented musicians have released yet another excellent album. "A Moments Peace" deserves a place on the CD shelf of any acoustic music lover, no matter how many previous Tingstad and Rumbel recordings already sit there. The CD earns my highest recommendation with almost laughable ease."
