By A Customer

This review is from: Emerald Harp (Audio CD)

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.
