Patricia Spero - Winter Harp [1994]
Performed on the harp with a delicate clarity, this music is both sensuous and restful, bringing a calmer and peaceful beauty to the listener. Much of the music by composers such as Vivaldi, Mendlessohn and Bach is well-known, yet sounds refreshingly vibrant in these arrangements for Patriciaˇs harp, blending on occasions as it does with the perfect complement of flute or strings. The playing and production have a clarity befitting the sharpness of a December morning when the snow sparkles and ice is a flame. Yet the human warmth generated by such musical craftsmanship is sufficient to place you in a relaxing cocoon of sound.
