Lovely CD. Simple yet elegant. Kim Robertson plays the harp beautifully!

Elegant, lilting Christmas carols on solo harp

"Talented harpist and creative arranger Kim Robertson has a way of making even the most familiar tunes artful, interesting and uniquely her own. Her simple but pleasant arrangements here are rich, warm and delicate, taking full advantage of her instrument and her abilities. The "Celtic" in this album's title reflects the fact that Robertson plays a Celtic harp rather than the source of the carols themselves. Her musical material is predominantly English or French and predominantly familiar to modern ears, though the lesser known selections from the Middle Ages and Renaissance are lovely additions. Unnamed flute and bell players contribute in the background of several of the pieces, but the harp remains the focus. Robertson's delicate and artful celebration of the holiday season continues on "Celtic Christmas II", where she is joined by cellist Virginia Kron. For other gentle holiday cheer featuring harp, try "A Winter's Night" by Ensemble Galilei or "Ancient Noels" by Ensemble Galilei and Maggie Sansone."

Found it!!
