5.0 out of 5 stars Review from NewAgeMusicWorld.Com / NewAgeMusic.nu, November 14, 2010

This review is from: Harp Therapy (Audio CD)

Classical Orchestral Harps can be thought of as divine or celestial instruments, having an origin dating to around 2500 BC, often reminding one of angels and religious cherubs posed in a holy statue. The harps early origins are ironically thought to be modeled after an archery weapon since the bowed arch with strings strongly resemble a bow and arrow.

Lizary Rodriguez Rios, residing in Tucson Arizona performs and teaches the classical harp professionally, in a career where there is no doubt her masterful quest for perfection is musical in nature. She has 2 albums designed with therapy and healing in mind, promoting a relaxing mood by the soothing gentle breeze of sound this string instrument with an ancient origin can provide.

Lizary's credits are very impressive, securing a Doctorate in Musical Arts and 4 time prize winner of international harp competitions around the world, also touring with the Grammy Award nominated Harp Fusion Ensemble. Her first album Harp Voyage has received critical acclaim from prestigious classical magazines, while also drawing attention around the world as a harp soloist and composer for the ensemble.

Harp Therapy is her second CD release in 2009, designed for those peaceful periods of musical serenity. Her music is purposefully composed for relaxation, massage, and yoga, while also finding a useful niche since the songs serve as the perfect auditory background music during church services, memorials, hospitals, and even wedding events.

Her solo performances have other professional musicians playing cello, violin, guitar, with nature sounds and background Atlantic Ocean side tides of Puerto Rico. The 15 songs have many recognizable favorites including Scarborough Fair, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring, and Pachelbel's Canon. Some original works are also present as the first song Purple Bamboo starts with a healing crystal bowl during the opening portion of the album. Both albums are truly relaxing, offered by a dedicated person who has pretty much devoted their life to music.

To hear Lizary play the harp is like hearing an inspired angel. She is just exceptional. You will be enchanted with her music since the first note. I use her "Harp Therapy" CD when I treat my patients to relax them and I have noticed longer lasring effects on them with different therapeutic modalities I use. I attended two of her concerts and now I realize that she is really the Teacher of Archangels that was sent to us to have a taste of Heaven on Earth.
