4 out of 5 stars Robin Williamson - Master of the Celtic Harp.......2001-03-22

Anyone who has enjoyed one of Robin Williamson's solo concerts recently will need little persuasion to buy this album: Robin, always a multi-talented player, has grown into a true master of one of the world's loveliest intruments: the celtic harp. His playing has none of the cold perfection of the classically trained musician - his technique is superb but what makes this music so special is that it has heart, and soul, and guts. Robin is a storyteller by nature and each of these pieces tells stories of their own. As the title makes plain, some are nimbly-skipping dance tunes while others are more reflective, meditative "airs", but all are full of light, colour and movement. This is music to soothe the spirit and make all things well.

4 out of 5 stars Celtic Harp Airs & Dance Tunes.......2000-09-05

This CD has become one of my favorites. It is not an album for background music, it is for sitting down, relaxing and enjoying. I am very fond of solo harp music, aspecially the Celtic Harp, and listening to Robin Williamson's way of playing gives you the feeling that it's comming from the heart. Track 4 & 5 are great.
