5.0 out of 5 stars Not To Be Missed!!!!, January 22, 2002

By	Beth Hensley (Memphis, TN, USA) - See all my reviews

Perhaps you've listened to performances on the pedal/symphonic harp or the folk harp, but if you've never heard the Welsh triple harp, you have a wonderful surprise awaiting you with this CD. Robin Huw Bowen's playing is spectacular - the only thing better is being at one of his live performances. The tracks that are my personal favorites include The Day, The Thread of Life, The Bells of the Old Country, and Farewell to the Days of my Youth. So put your feet up, close your eyes, and release the cares of the day as this lovely music washes over you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely music great record, June 25, 2001

By	Luis GARCIA LAURENT (México, D. F. Mexico) - See all my reviews

I am fairly new in Celtic (should it, really, be Keltic?), music I found the playing magnificent. The warmth he gets from his intrument the sonority are really great. Songs in themselves are very attractive. As a beginer, I do not see what better introduction to this wonderful world, there could be.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Masterpiece of Harpestry, January 19, 2003

By	Gary D. Duzan - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For the most part, I might call this album rather good, but not great. However, one track brings the album to a higher level: Y Llinyn Arian/The Thread of Life. This has to be one of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever heard. The melancholy passages at the beginning and the end and the light-hearted dance in the middle provide a wonderful contrast and perfect symmetry. This track alone makes the album worth the purchase.
