2.0 out of 5 stars faerie music, January 9, 2007

While I am a great fan of Robin Huw Bowen on the Welsh triple harp, this album disappoints. Crasdant appears to eschew any depth of feeling or drive that I associate with good Celtic music. The absence of bass tends to give the music a busy, spritely feel which I have dubbed "faerie music". Reminiscent of sessions, the pieces have a repetitive and unimaginative feel which leads one to wonder why noone bothered to make thoughtful arrangements. Mr. Bowen can do better than this and his associates, excellent musicians all, should rally to produce a more varied and unique sound.

Always enjoy Robin Huw Bowen's music. This one with the group is even more spirited. Hope there will be more...
