This fine album (with 7 out of the 11 tracks featuring solo harp) is the debut recording of Rachel Hair and shows the harps strength as a solo instrument, demonstrating its strong rhythmic and melodic capabilities, and proving that it really can stand its own.
Rachel is joined on 3 tracks by pianist Douglas Millar and on 1 track by traditional flute player, Peter Webster. Their imaginative, confident, but sensitive playing, balances with the harp beautifully and adds to a fine debut release, from one of Scotland’s top traditional harp players.
Musicians: Rachel Hair – Harp; Douglas Millar – Piano (tracks 2, 4 and 7); Peter Webster – Flute (track 10)

Something about the Clarsach (Harp).... davidvivanco
Suffice to say that since I received this album, it has hardly been out of my cd player. I've listened to it every day at least once for about two weeks now!
