5.0 out of 5 stars A spine-tingling introduction to fascinating old instruments, 19 Aug 1999
By Laraine A. Barker "Laraine A Barker" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Harp of Ludovico (Audio CD)
This CD was my introduction to Andrew Lawrence-King. I think I bought it mostly because of its title! Now, I regard the modern orchestral harp as a pretty boring solo instrument, but the sounds Andrew draws from his copies of old harps--instruments made entirely of wood and strung with gut--are often nothing short of spine-tingling. He is a very passionate and sensitive musician, undoubtedly one of the world's finest instrumentalists.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding music from rare Spanish and Italian 16th C. harpists, 6 May 2006
By C. B Collins Jr. - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Harp of Ludovico (Audio CD)
This is an incredible selection of music which is masterfully presented by Andrew Lawrence-King. Mr. Lawrence-King has selected works from Spanish 16th century harpists and then traces the movement of these influences to Naples and Southern Italy in the works of 5 Italian harpists.

Whereas the title refers to Luduvico, all 7 of these harpists were followers of Ludovico, ending with the works of Frescobaldi, a renouned harpists in Rome.

The works are superb, complex, meditative, uplifting, and captivating. Andrew Lawrence-King built or had built wooden harps with non-metal strings to try to capture the sound of these original compositions. The effect is fantastic, with a warmth akin to the lute, with none of the metalic twang of some modern orchestral harpists.

I have owned this CD for around 15 years and I often pull it out to absorb its radiance one more time.

The Harp of Luduvico has been reissued on Helios, Hyperion's budget label; perhaps it will have nine-lives...
