5.0 out of 5 stars Charming and inventive!, November 30, 2002

This review is from: Hand Woven (Audio CD)

With playful, jazzy, original compositions, harpist Lorin Grean weaves laughter and magic through the loom of her Celtic harp, while singing along in an enticing, wordless vocalise. I bought this CD expecting something rather traditional, and found these fluid, even mischievous songs to be a delightful surprise. The sinuous, luxuriant, mysterious character of Grean's compositions lends itself perfectly to her primary topic on this release: the adventures of cats. Kevin DiSimone, on keyboards and background vocals, and a variety of other musicians add to the richness of the music, and Charlie Bisharat's violin in particular sounds quite "meow-ful". If you are a cat fan, this CD makes a perfect accompaniment for a reading or rereading of Tad Williams' whimsical book "Tailchaser's Song". Or just listen as you play with your pet(s) and watch their antics. Lorin Grean's other release, "Spinning Gold", features more of her playful arrangements, this time using classic rock tunes as the source material. If you enjoy the work of Lorin Grean, you will also like the innovative harpistry of Kim Robertson, Thomas Loefke and Andreas Vollenweider.

Lorin's work is amazing to me. I've seen her perform live in Santa Barbara. What a talented musician who pours her heart, soul and energy into her work. And of course, The Radiance Technique is part of this wonderful CD!

Stumbled upon this CD by accident (a lucky bargain bin find) and never grow tired of it -- it's haunting and enchanting and luscious. I too am looking for more by Lorin Grean!
