"Lovers of classical music who have not discovered the wonders of the harp should acquire Judy Loman's discs, "Harp Showpieces" and "The Romantic Harp." Both are are just fantastic (& inexpensive too, on the Naxos label). If you love those you will also treasure this disc, 74 minutes of music for solo harp that is absolutely mesmerizing. Another Judy Loman disc that I strongly recommend is "The Genius of Salzedo." These four discs will provide a remarkable listening experience - in fact, it's been quite some time since I've found music that I respond to in this way, perhaps going back to my earliest hearing of Debussy's preludes. There is a lightness of being that takes over when I listen to any of these discs -- no wonder the harp is associated with heaven. Who can ask for anything more?"
