2 out of 5 stars Fingernails across a blackboard.......2001-08-17

She's a excellent harpist and the tunes are fine. Problem is her harp sounds considerably out of tune on several of the tracks. It's almost painful to listen to them. I find I don't listen to the CD because I'm alway wincing when she hits the bad strings!

I am swept away every time I hear this music. I first discovered Alison Kinnaird when I was digging through my cassettes one day. I found a tape that was labeled "radio songs" and I put it in, expecting to hear the usual boring top 40 hits. Instead, I was surprised and delighted to hear this Scottish harp music. I couldn't stop listening, and I brought the tape with me wherever I went. I am still listening to it, and I love it. I don't have this CD yet, but I'm planning to get it. All of the songs on my tape are on this CD, and I love them so very much. Whenever I listen to Scottish or Irish music, I enter other worlds, and find myself daydreaming. If you're like me, you'll love Alison Kinnaird on the Scottish Harp.
