This review is from: The Celtic Harp: A Tribute to Edward Bunting with the Belfast Harp Orchestra (Audio CD)

This excellent CD contains twelve traditional Irish tunes that were recorded by the incomparable Chieftains, in conjunction with the Belfast Harp Orchestra. The sounds produced are soothing, and quite enjoyable to listen to. In fact, this album was actually awarded the Best Traditional Folk Album award at the 1994 Grammies! So, if you like Irish harp music, or traditional Irish tunes, then you will love this album. My family and I highly recommend this CD to you.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Sound that never caught on ..., March 14, 1999

This review is from: The Celtic Harp: A Tribute to Edward Bunting with the Belfast Harp Orchestra (Audio CD)

I love the sound of the Celtic Harp on this CD, and it's just a shame it never caught on... especially here in America, where the search for relaxing music seems to be neverending (and usually involves the sound of a babbling brook ... how droll ... ). The sound is beautiful, and the only vocal track a real treat.

Teh Belfast Harp Orchestra along with Derek "Ding-dong" Bell (Chieftains harpist) produce some truly wonderful compositions here. I never knew the harp could be so versatile - from slow laments to marches.
