This gentle instrumental disc has everything in its favor. The lyricism of all the pieces set up mood. And a very discrete one it is. Lyricism usually provides both mood and emotion, but here this world is essentially of mood. The clear star of this peaceful world is that of the 25-stringed Japanese koto played perfectly, and just topped off with a touch of atmospheric keyboard harmony in places. Rosette for this CD.
ONE OF MY FAVORITES FOR RELAXATION; ETHERAL AS THE HARP CAN BE. IF YOU ENJOY THE ORCHESTRATION OF HARP YOU WILL LISTEN MANY TIMES TO THIS COMPILATION AND INCREDIBLE MASTER HARPIST. JAPENESE MELODIES
