5.0 out of 5 stars
Awesomely Beautiful,
By D. H. Bergman (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. I: The Music of Turlough O'Carolan (Audio CD)
... If Turlough O'Carolan is reembodied these days I wouldn't be surprised if he was Patrick Ball. Patrick seems to have been born to play this music in this age.I played it at the office where I work and even the rock/jazz/blues-liking people liked it. It's a great bridge to lead people from the latter grade of sound (I'm definitely prejudiced in this regard) to the realms of really beautiful music. For budget-minded people: in my opinion, save your money re Vol. 2; I prefered Vol. 1 about infinitely (regarding the selections, not the artist's playing of them). I haven't heard Vol. 3 or Vol. 4.

Beautiful, peaceful, and precise,

This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. I: The Music of Turlough O'Carolan (Audio CD)
If I tell you this is the most relaxing music I know, you may get the wrong impression. This is no newage mush, but intricate Baroque compositions played flawlessly on an instrument with such a blissfully sweet tone that it's no wonder angels are depicted with harps. All the same, when I was stressed out in graduate school I used to play this tape every night to drive away care, and more recently, I've found it just the thing for getting my baby to settle down to sleep. The tones of the harp cascade light bright drops of water over the surface of your mind and float you to a more peaceful place. This music is like magic.

O'Carolan himself could not do better.,
This review is from: Celtic Harp, Vol. I: The Music of Turlough O'Carolan (Audio CD)
I have been going to see Patrick Ball's live performances every chance I get since 1995. In between I console myself with his wonderful CD's. Of all of them, though, I think I play this one the most, partly because of the "O'Carolan's Farewell to Music" track. Those of you who have been lucky enough to see Patrick's one-man show of that title will not need to ask why. I have other recordings of that track, but for me they are flickering candles compared to the sun of Patrick Ball's performance. O'Carolan himself could not do it better.
