Music Review: SUE RICHARDS, CELTIC HARP CHAMPION!
Rating: 5 Stars

EXCELLENT, SWEET MUSIC! Here is Sue Richards, the U.S. Scottish Harp Champion, on Celtic harp accompanied by fiddle, flute, button accordion, guitar & viola da gamba in tunes from Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Why didn't we hear this beautiful disc until now? It has been available for more than 10 years - we are such losers...

Richards' harp playing is the most mellow and graceful we have ever heard. Combined with the simple traditional instruments that flesh out Celtic music in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, these traditional aires are absolutely delightful. Her fiddler in this album, Calum MacKinnon, spices the sound with incredibly nimble fiddlin' - our bluegrass fiddlers can't come close to this fellow!

All pieces are arranged by Ms. Richards. She is accompanied by 9 other artists who play at least 12 instruments. We thought you'd like to know who they are and what they play:
Karen Ashbrook: Flute, pennywhistle, and hammered dulcimer
Myron Bretholz: Bodhran
Marsha Diehl: Recorders
Calum MacKinnon: Fiddle
Billy McComiskey: Button accordion
Connie McKenna: Classical guitar
Charlie Pilzer: Piano
John Quigg: Scottish snare drum
Carolyn Surrick: Viola da gamba

Our favorite on this album is a 2-tune medley "Tip O'Neill/Washington Hornpipe" (track 12) both toe-tapping original compositions by Ms. Richards. All of this music is a great backdrop for a maudlin afternoon, even if you're not the emotional type. If you need a quick pick-me-up, Track 7 will do the job - a lighthearted Highland pipe jig vigorously plucked on the harp. There's a piece here for just about every mood, all tied together with the elegant, celestial sound of the harp.
ENJOY!
