Savourna Stevenson is at the cutting edge of Scottish harp playing, developing and mastering techniques that are moving the lever harp to the next level. In addition to her performance, her compositions showcase her wonderful musicianship. Her three-movement suite for harp and string quartet is particularly noteworthy.

I first met Savourna back in the 80s when my now ex-wife and her played a lot of music together in Edinburgh and Peebles, where Savourna then lived with harpmaker husband Mark Norris. I have continued to follow her career over the years (difficult as it has been from this side of the Atlantic) and can only say if you haven't heard her, you need to. She has always been on the cutting edge (if such a phrase fits) with her clarsach-- traditional one moment, then classical, then jazz. I even used to have a tape of her fronting a rock band at the Edinburgh Festival! Buy it-- you'll be doing yourself a favor...

Savourna Stevenson is an enchanting harpist. This album is incredible and all the musical pieces were beautiful. This album was quite difficult to get. I first had the pleasure of hearing "Come Try Me" on an episode of "Sex and the City". I was absolutley mesmorized by this song.
