Product Description
CD Description
Whilst Patricia Spero may be an unfamiliar name as far as the public is concerned, the same cannot be said for her peers. A Classical BRIT nominee, Patricia is invariably in demand as a session musician by any artist who wants a real live harp player rather than someone who can recreate the sound on a keyboard. This particular album finds Patricia experimenting with the Celtic Harp and offering interpretations of some well known songs.

This collection of 19 tracks is beautifully played - the harp all soft and tinkly, the occasional accompaniment (sax, clarinet, percussion) subdued and often innovative. But... less than half of the tracks can be said to be Celtic music, or even traditional British Isles.
What was I expecting from a CD called `Celtic Harp'? - well, maybe leprechauns in the bushes and `Danny Boy' in ten different arrangements. At any rate, NOT `The sound of silence', `For the good times' or `Kum Ba Ya' - not to mention more than 6 minutes of the love theme from `Titanic'. Some of these are intriguingly arranged - especially the haunting version of `Where have all the flowers gone', which is more like an extended (4'20) fantasia over a theme than a direct rendering of the well-known Pete Seeger song. But - be warned! Yes, you're getting a CD of harp music. It's lovely - but Celtic? (OK, the harp may be a Celtic one - there is no descriptive folder/jacket - but I still think the labelling is misleading.)

I made an assumption that a celtic harp CD would play traditional celtic music and I didn't check the title list properly plus I have other Patricia Spero CD's that are very celtic so the reason i'm giving this a low score is because I hate the content. However if you read this review you won't make the same mistake I made
