The pristine tones and lilting melodies of the Celtic harp are immediately inviting. Celtic Harpestry, a companion to a PBS performance special, explores a sound both traditional and modern in a tasteful and evocative collection. This isn't a purist's album--half of the harpists aren't even from the Celtic isles, and among the album's old Irish chestnuts is "My Heart Will Go On," the love theme from Titanic. The otherwise-joyful Belfast Harp Orchestra tromp through the James Horner tune, almost pulling some subtlety out of its overwrought themes. Turlough O'Carolan, the blind patron saint of the Celtic harp, might wish he were deaf as well, if he could hear it. But the bard would be thrilled to hear the 12-piece BHO playing the traditional "Brian Boru's Set" or one of founder Janet Harbison's zephyrlike originals. Her "Earth, Water, Wind and Fire" elicits shifting textures and colors that belie their traditional roots. The song also exemplifies the ethereal side of the Celtic harp explored on Celtic Harpestry with artists like Rüdiger Oppermann. Playing a wire-strung harp accompanied by bass and keyboards, the German harpist soars through crystalline melodies whether he's playing traditional tunes or originals. The most traditional sound actually comes from the American players. Cheryl Ann Fulton gives a straight-up rendition of "Breton Medley," and jazz harpist Deborah Henson-Conant is refreshingly restrained, faithfully rendering "Londonderry Aire (Danny Boy)" and "The Minstrel Boy." Although Celtic Harpestry focuses on slow airs, there are robust performances here, including those by Máire Ni Chathasaigh's group and the harp and vocal duo of Sileas. Outside of the Titanic love theme, Celtic Harpestry is an elegantly wrought collection. --John Diliberto

Celtic Meets Classical.......2007-07-12

Hard rock it ain't. Celtic Harpestry: A Contemporary Celtic Collection may cite "contemporary" in its title, but the style is classic. Rich harmonies and intricate musical textures rise to a crescendo in "Earth, Water, Wind And Fire," the final cut, performed by the Belfast Harp Orchestra.

This collection overlaps several genres. Celtic, classical and New Age meet in what may be the instrument most associated with classical melodies.

If you are a fan of Rap or Hip Hop, keep looking. If you want a hoedown, this is not going to be your cuppa joe. But if you are looking for something elegant - background music for a business or important meeting, for example - this is a wonderful, understated choice.

Excellent Celtic Cd.......2006-12-30

A sibling to "Harpestry," this is a wonderful cd. I am a harper and head up a Celtic Harp Choir at my church (I'm a fulltime church music director), and I have used this cd as a model for my musicians. It's very pleasant to listen to, and you definitely get a good feel for the Celtic style. I highly recommend this!

Just lovely!.......2003-05-25

This uplifting compilation CD from Imaginary Road Records, actually the soundtrack to the public television special "Celtic Harpestry at Lismore Castle, Ireland", is simply beautiful. Especially wonderful are the five numbers by the Belfast Harp Orchestra, an ensemble of 12 harpists who demonstrate remarkable intonation and stunning coordination as they play together on instruments that are difficult enough just to play alone. What a great concept, and what great musicianship! Also featured are individual performers such as Maire Ni Chathasaigh on Irish harp, Rudiger Oppermann on wire-strung harp, Cheryl Ann Fulton on a contemporary lever harp, the harp and song duo Sileas, and Deborah Henson-Conant on a "Camac `Baby Blue' Celtic electroharp". Other instruments, including Uilleann pipes and whistle, violin, viola and concertina, occasionally join in, but the focus is on the harp itself. In all its many forms and combinations, the harpestry on this recording remains soothingly delicate in timbre while at the same time scintillating in technique--in short, a pure delight. If you enjoy "Celtic Harpesty", you're sure to like it's companion release, "Harpestry: A Contemporary Collection", featuring more of a worldwide assortment of harpers. Another great harp compilation CD is "Faces of the Harp" from Narada.

Amazing.......2001-08-30

I always had a desire to learn to play the Celtic harp...and the PBS special and especially this CD made that desire boil over. Don't buy another harp CD before you've listened to this one!
No matter how many times I have listened to this recording, I ALWAYS break into a smile when the Belfast Harp Orchestra begins to play. Nothing prepares you for that 12-harp sound!
Order this CD with overnight shipping!!!

The best harpestry CD!.......2001-07-23

One day in a music shop, my hand knocked three CDs off of a rack. The first CD, though the case was cracked, caught my eye. I bought it five minutes later. In this sweetly harmonized collection, nearly all the songs are wonderful. I would have bought the CD for only My Heart Will Go On-the song is a skillful take of the Titanic (movie) theme, and it seems almost to have a voice of its own. This is a must-have for any harp music lover!

Wonderful recording.......2004-11-18

This might be my favorite holiday album. It's one of the first I pull out in November and doesn't get put away until February.

Bright and sparkling!.......2002-11-29

A perfect way to celebrate the Christmas spirit any time of year with some truly "old" favorites, performed with spirit and heart by the Baltimore Consort. Period selections imbued here with the consort's singular sound and creative improvisations include "Ding Dong Merrily on High", "The Old Year Now Away is Fled", "The Cherry Tree Carol", "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day", "Es ist ein Ros", "In Dulci Jubilo", and many more that may charm you for the first time. The Baltimore Consort is: Mary Anne Ballard, viols and rebec; Mark Cudek, cittern, guitar, viols and bandora; Custer LaRue, soprano soloist; Larry Lipkis, viol, recorder and gemshorn; Ronn McFarlane, lutes; and Chris Norman, wooden flutes and pennywhistle; with Webb Wiggins on organ.

why to get this disc (in rhyme).......2001-11-24

'Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all through the house, Christmas spirit was stirring and starting to rouse feelings of joy and expectation in the hearts of the people who were there. Beautiful music and Custer LaRue's singing filled the air.

Wonderful songs, written by people long dead, caused pictures to form and stories to dance through each listening head. Stories of a virgin bearing a child, stories of the little Savior's entrance into this world...meek and mild.

Each song is sung with such haunting beauty and care. The Consort's playing could not be more wonderfully fair. Each song is a masterpiece--"The Cherry Tree Carol," "In dulci jubilo," and "Quem pastores laudavere." Each song's focus is on the true meaning of Christmas--no appearance made by St. Nick--but with singing like this, in your head they are sure to stick.

More beautifully than snowflakes this music drifts down. In sheer loveliness, "Christmas Is My Name" deserves the crown. Oh but each tune is strong--like "Ding Dong Merrily" and "The Wren Song." Most come in at under three minutes each, none is overlong. Each is stunning...how can the listener go wrong? How they twinkle...they are most merry. One even makes mention of Cherries.

(...)

I highly recommend this disc.

A Christmas Favorite.......2000-12-09

Had enough of animated snowmen and over-sweetened carol arrangements? Here's a hugely enjoyable recording of songs and dances done with flair by the Baltimore Consort. There are a few familiar tunes, such as the lilting arrangement of "Ding, Dong Merrily On High" and a beautiful solo flute version of "Lo, How a Rose 'Er Blooming." But most the songs are off the beaten track, and are therefore fresh and new despite their antiquity. Custer LaRue brings feeling and energy into the songs. This has become the most played Christmas CD in our household.

Excellent performances and unique music.......1999-12-13

This is my favorite Christmas CD, and it is very different from everything else we hear this time of year.

Marcel Dupré is an important historical as well as musical figure, his compositional freedom linking the golden age of Widor and Vierne with the radical rethinking that Messiaen saw through in his great organ cycles. Never doing things by halves, Naxos has reached Volume 9 of the complete organ works--mainly chamber pieces involving organ. Most substantial is the "Trio for Violin, Cello, and Organ," in one sense a throwback to the Baroque line of trio sonatas, but with a harmonic richness that indicates a late-19th-century inheritance--thoughtful, undemonstrative music, persuasively realized by Bruce Neswick and colleagues. The "Quartet" adds a viola to the lineup, but a delightful scherzando apart is a lesser affair, while the "Sonata for Cello and Organ" is a modest but interesting work (at least for the way Dupré makes a telling contrast between the sonorities of the two instruments). Again, perceptive playing from Neswick, whose Indiana organ has a clear, bright sound that makes the generous selection of Chorales interesting for the listener as well as the player. At the price, a worthwhile collection of some unusual repertoire. --Richard Whitehouse

Undiscovered Brilliance!.......2005-04-01

I hadn't heard of Iain Archer until I saw him perform live at the Ulster Hall Belfast November 22nd 2004. He was supporting ex-band mates Snow Patrol who were back home in Northern Ireland, playing their first ever gig at this overwhelmingly atmospheric venue. They had, at last, obtained the recognition that was inarguably long overdue and were about to prove beyond any doubt that their newfound adulation was richly deserved. The crowd were in a state of extreme excitement and anticipation when surrounded by various guitars, this nameless artist took to the stage and was about to make a lasting impression on at least one member of the sold out audience.

Iain Archer's unique, beautiful, melodic voice had me captivated immediately and although it takes a few listens to entirely grasp the significance of the lyrics of any artist I could tell there was a likelihood, they too could be special. I couldn't wait to get hold of his album and 'Flood the Tanks' certainly didn't disappoint. The poetic melancholy of tracks like 'That one you always do' and 'Not Yourself' combined with the meaningful lyrics and catchy melodies of songs such as 'Boy, Boy, Boy' and 'Summer Jets' are excellent examples of Iain Archer's undeniably brilliant musicianship and song writing talents.

Although there are just enough equally inspiring upbeat and uplifting tracks, the album overall, has a reflective and haunting edge to it. Archer has a spectacular skill in communicating human feeling and emotion (especially the darker side) and it would be difficult to listen to the album and not feel moved and inspired by that beautiful articulation. Right from the opening track 'Pressure Drop' to the hidden track 'Mirrorball Moon' at the very end, Archer's beautifully gentle vocals and heartfelt lyrics enchant. To quote Zane Lowe when he spoke of Jeff Buckley's 'Grace', "go into a room shut the door and let the music wash over you," the same applies to 'Flood the Tanks.' It is utter undiscovered brilliance and I hope this truly talented artist follows in Snow Patrol's footsteps and gets the success he unquestionably deserves.

Scott Krippayne is one of the BEST songwriters in the business! He is equally as good a singer. All of his songs are so thought provoking. He does not get near enough credit for his talent. He has written songs for Point of Grace, Avalon, and even John Tesh! This album is one of my favorites. I have to sing "I Wanna Sing" at the top of my lungs everytime I hear it. "Cross of Christ" is so wonderful...it is another sing-out-loud song. The Coffee song is very funny and true! If you buy this CD you will agree with me and understand how talented this guy really is!!

Soulful CD.......2005-03-06

Scott Krippayne I first heard on the radio singing a live version of a song on this album called the "Coffee Song." It's a hysterical song that all coffee lovers would get a kick out of, and at that point I had no idea he was a Christian artist. Anyhow, I wanted his cd based on that song just because it was funny, and when I listened to his other songs, I was dually impressed. He has a really pretty voice (not the most imaginative descriptive word but accurate) and he uses a lot of piano in his music. His songs are a mix of fast and slow, and it makes for a great album. I highly recommend it!

Vanessa Williams Beautiful Christmas........2005-12-24

This happens to be the kind of an album you want to get cozy in well candle-lit bedroom on Christmas Eve. Vanessa's first Christmas Album(Which is also known as The 20th Century Christmas Collection) has the best Christmas music worth listening to. The Best time to listen is late at night. Her voice is very sexy and seductive and my personal favorite tracks on this album are 1,4,8,9, & 12. Track 9 & 11 were previously recorded on other albums. Track 9 was Recorded for "A Special Olympics Christmas 2"; and Track 11 was used in David Foster's Christmas Album. "Star Bright" remains one the best Christmas Albums that will eventually stand through the test of time.

A Magical Christmas Album !.......2004-12-14

Jacqueline Schwab's plaintive piano is recognized almost immediately as the background music for Ken Burns' reknowned public broadcasting films covering Baseball and the Civil War...in this disc, she turns her considerable talents to the soothing, ethereal hymns, carols, and spirituals of the Christmas season. Upon my first hearing, I was reminded of my sitting in the parlour of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church's parsonage as the wife of the Pastor effortlessly, without benefit of sheet music, tinkered with the old-but-finely-tuned upright piano, playing Christmas hymns that made me weep. This disc is a gift. I defy you to listen to it and not be moved to your heart.

my CD of the year.......2002-11-25

Jacqueline Schwab's Down Came an Angel wins my best album of the year award (which goes to the best CD I first heard this year). This is Christmas music as it should be. Even without words, these recordings of these songs speak more to my heart and to the meaning of the season than I have heard music do in a long, long time.

Mrs. Schwab's playing has an unbelievable emotional (and I would argue spiritual) range. She is introspective one moment, exuberant the next, and then quietly adoring in the next. Rarely have I been so consistently impressed by an artist.

There are many highlights on this album, but the one that cries out to be heard is Mrs. Schwab's Away in a Manger--if I had a song of the year award, it would go to this song. This is music of hope for a hopeful season. Dorian's sound is, as usual (I'm going to start writing "of course" instead of "as usual"), outstanding.

Get a copy of Down Came an Angel--this is music at its best.

Capturing the Mood of Christmas.......1999-12-25

I first heard An Angel Came Down on KFUO-FM here in St Louis. I was transfixed. The solo piano captured the mood of each Christmas song, with strong hints of melody weaving in with light hints of melody - always serene.

A Young Tenor's Tribute to his Homeland.......2002-10-22

A vibrant and touching journey through American music, from the Old American Songs of Aaron Copland, Samuel Barber's Sure on this Shining Night and Simple Song from Leonard Bernstein's Mass, through crossover Broadway tunes such as I Gotta Get back to New York and Putting on the Ritz, to heart-stoppingly patriotic hymns such as America the Beautiful and Battle Hymn of the Republic.
