Customer Reviews:

The Best Harp Collection EVER.......2006-12-30

It was by dumb luck that I picked this particular cd up several years back, and I now use it as my staple. Being a harper, I appreciate the beauty and technique of the music and musicians, but most of all, it is one of the best harp collections I've found to date. What's nice is that the musicians featured here are known names in the harp world - not some unknowns who might have whacked out tempos and interpretations. If there was a rating of more than 5 stars, then I would give it that! Seriously, you won't regret this purchase.

The very best in contemporary harp........2006-03-20

I have been looking for any harp collection to rival this and haven't found it yet. It's full of great original compositions, including my favourite of all harp pieces, The Nightingale by Deborah Henson-Conant. A must-have if you love harp music.

Outstanding Collection of Harp Music!!.......2005-10-06

I heard one song from this cd on the radio and had to buy it! The music is simply fabulous! I highly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys harp music or just enjoys listening to relaxing, uplifting music in general.

Terrific music!.......2003-05-25

Subtitled "A Contemporary Collection", this compilation CD from Imaginary Road Records is scintillating, varied, and intriguing--a celebration of harpists and harp-playing styles from around the world. The contributors are Rudiger Oppermann, Maureen Brennan, Ann Heymann, Deborah Henson-Conant, Michelle Sell, Janet Harbison, Cynthia Mowery, Luis Felipe Gonzalez, Geist, Derek Bell, Patrick Ball, Andrea Piazza, and Andreas Vollenweider. The types of harps they play (Celtic, Gothic, traditional Tyrolean, Venezuelan, nylon strung, wire strung, Classical pedal and concert harps, and electric harps) are as varied as their musical styles, which include traditional, classical and jazz. I became aware of this recording, and it's companion album "Celtic Harpestry" by reading a review for yet another harp album, "Faces of the Harp" (from Narada). All three CDS are wonderful, as well as quite complimentary, and I'm delighted to have come across them. If you like harp music, you're sure to enjoy them too!

Soothing, and not sappy.......2001-09-08
