Rapture is the second album by Bradley Joseph, and his debut album on the Narada label, released in March 1997. This is an instrumental album in which Joseph wrote and conducted all of the scores. In addition to incorporating a core band including violinist Charlie Bisharat and drummer Charlie Adams, he used a 50-piece orchestra. It is an "expression of a life's work and dreams", featuring intimate piano pieces, quartets and full orchestrations,[1] "combining smooth jazz with contemporary instrumental themes".[2] It reached New Age Voice (NAV)'s "Airwaves Top 30" at No. 15 in July 1997.[3]
