This is definitely a must-have for harp music lovers! Cecilia de Majo's world-class harp playing is definitely reflected in this CD. I'm impressed by the repertoire, each piece is beautifully played with delicacy and character. CDs by well known harpists are not very common, compilations are even rarer, that's why I'm thrilled owning this CD. I've been an admirer of C.d.M for many years, her new CD completes my collection of previous longplays and K7s by the same artist. I definitely recommend it!!

This is amazing harp playing, with a contemporary touch and a classical feeling. This Cd is bound to lift your spirit. The harpist if truly cutting-edge, as you would expect from C. de Majo. Her european and american touch is definitely reflected in this Cd. I especially liked the program, which in my opinion offers musical pieces with distinct and beautiful harmonies, as well as great technical difficulty. Very, very nice !

This CD has an incredible feeling ... hard to describe in words. One example : I recently gave this CD to a friend of mine as a gift and she called me back almost crying after she finished listening to it. She said to me...you made my day ;) I guess is the combination of the harpist's talent and the rare romantic feeling of the harp. I recently learned C. de Majo gave her first recital when she was only 7 years old. Wow! I'm sure everybody will enjoy it as much as I did. Bellissimo, beautiful, estupendo....

Indeed this is only the fourth time that my wife & I buy a harp CD, but I have to say that this compilation left me speechless. Not only is the player magnificent, but also the program. It's really not a another deja vu CD. This one is very original from the beginning to the end. I'm already interested in other CDS's from this artist. In the CD it's explained how Cecilia de Majo represents the best of both american and french harp music playing, since she studied with Zighera in Boston and Tournier in Paris, two of the best musicians in the world. I did a little research on my own before buying this CD and I was curious to actually hear the sound of the artist playing such a complicate, melodic and beautiful instrument. I can truly say I'm not disappointed.

I'm in awe...what ann astonishing harp cd. Harp is such a difficult instrument to play, and yet Cecilia delivers a spectacular performance. She has such a delicate touch, and yet her sound is strong and melodic at the same time. I wanted to introduce my children and family to harp playing and they were very impressed. My younger daugher even said to me: Dady I want to play harp!. The perfect christmas gift.

Wonderful!!! I felt Cecilia de Majo's technique and astonishing musicality is probably as good as it gets. Her harp playing is inspiring. What a performer. In my opinion her harp playing reflects the best of the French and American school of harp. Two thumbs up!!! I definitely recommend this CD. It's a wonderful addition to my classical collection.
