5.0 out of 5 stars The finest harp CD available..., July 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Virtuoso Harp (Audio CD)

When I saw "virtuoso" in the title, I thought it was a bit presumptuous, but Goodman more than backs up the title. This collection will spoil you for any other harpist - this certainly was the case for me. I often find myself comparing her performances to others, and I invariably prefer her phrasing, her speed, and range. A fabulous CD, a must for every fan of harp music.

This is a nice CD. Most of the selections are soothing and relaxing. I bought it for my 10 year old daughter and put a few tracks of it on her iPod. She seems to like it.

As an aside, My fiancée hired a harpest to play during dinner at our wedding reception. I was a skeptic until the event. Everybody loved it. If you cannot find a live harpest, then this CD would provide nice music for similar events.
