Music reviews of Emerald Harp
Music Review: This CD is BEYOND Fabulous...
Rating: 5 Stars
I had the good fortune to stumble into a harp workshop that Christina Tourin was teaching, then go to a concert of hers later that night. This is the CD I bought there--she had many to choose from--and I listened to it later. I have just started getting into harp music in earnest, though I've appreciated it for a long time. Of all the harp CDs I have or have listened to, numbering about 20, this is BY FAR the most gorgeous and lyrical. There isn't a cheesy, over-the-top moment in it, and thankfully there's no one cutting in to SING in it, either (unlike some). It makes fabulous background music, supremely restful and gorgeous, and it's the type of CD that everyone who hears it a) wonders who it is; b) wonders what it is; and c) wonders if they can get one, immediately. And this is from a cross-section of sophisticated listeners from different countries in the world (S. Africa, Trinidad, India), who probably have vastly different musical tastes. It's by far my favorite CD of the year, and will be a gift for many friends, as well. There's lots more to learn about Christina--she has several websites and a number of harp CDs--but she's a major talent and this is an absolutely incredible CD.
Description of Emerald Harp
From the mists of Avondate to the sacred waters of Glastonbury's Chalice Well, the Emerald Harp carries you to the glens of Ireland and Britain. The Irish Bard of the late 1100's was required to have at his command three musical evocations: Geantraighe - an excitement to love and laughter; Goltraighe - an arousal to valour or tears; Suantraighe - a disposition to slumber and repose. Christina's style, a mix of pure traditional and ambient soulful dreaminess, evokes the spirit of the old bards. Come on a magical journey to the Isle of Avalon; sacred stone circles, groves of oak trees - "Gog" and "Magog", Celtic crosses, fairy mounds and the trickling waters of the Chalice Well.International CDs
