Synopsis

Album Description
50 years ago, Alan Stivell brought the long forgotten Celtic Harp back into use, beginning a career that would rouse worldwide interest in Celtic Music. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the modern Celtic Harp, Stivell has released a mesmerizing new instrumental album, "Beyond Words." The album focuses on Stivell?s various harps: some that mirror the ancient versions of the instrument, others that bear elements of the modern electric guitar. With its ancient melodies, Celtic modal structures, and serene soundscapes, "Beyond Words" is a masterwork of a world music legend. Alan Stivell (All harps, Computer Programming, Keyboards, Percussions, Pipes & Whistles)

CD Reviews

Magical!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I haven't listened to anything else since I got this CD. It has completely ensnared me, with the same power that Renaissance of the Celtic Harp did 30 years ago. He plays six different harps, including four that he designed and had built, including a "cristal-plexiglas" one. It all works beautifully.



Get it, listen, be carried away."
