Hooray for a harp recording which breaks out of the mould of the limited range of familiar harp repertoire! Harpist Elinor Bennett and Lontano Records have compiled here an imaginative selection of both original pieces and transcriptions of contemporary music made by Bennett herself. BBC Music Magazine. Music by post-modern and minimalist composers find a natural and beautifu expression on the harp, whose sounds are often associated with qualities of restfulness and peace. From the simplicity and devotional depth of Arvo Part, to the mesmeric repetitiveness of Philip Glass, this recording brings together works by living composers with some of the earliest surviving manuscript of harp music in the world, including the late mediaeval tablature of Robert Ap Huw from Wales. the Welsh harpist Elinor Bennett performed the music and transcribed the works by Arvo Part and Philip Glass.
