Product description

• This was the first record to combine the sounds of the gut and the wire strung harps, two different, but related, small harps. Alison Kinnaird is well known as one of the foremost exponents of Scottish harp music, and Ann Heymann is a virtuoso second to none on the wire strung harp.
• The approach to the music, and the harps on which it is played, has been formed by years of research in both Scotland and Ireland. The music itself has been gleaned from many sources, including the oral tradition, ancient archives and collections, and also includes original compositions by Heymann and Kinnaird.
• "A beautiful album - could be snapped up by the MOR/light classical market as well as the widest possible range of folk appreciators. With faultless playing they conjure up visions of misty heather-clad hills or smokey peat fires, and one is transported to a gentle world where all is peace and beauty" MUSIC WEEK
• "... with two well-received solo albums to her name already, this record of Alison Kinnaird with Ann Heymann will win her and her music more than a few followers" EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS
