Golden Lights and Green Shadows - Review
Celtic Grooves Imports
A young harp player from County Mayo and a former student of Janet Harbison, Grainne Hambly has just released her second solo CD - the first was "Between the Showers" - and it is as delightful and beautifully played as the first. Grainne can perform the classic harp repertoire, here Carolan's "Henry MacDermott Roe" and "Kitty Magennis" among others, like the best of them. She is also most adept at arranging traditional dance tunes for the harp and at playing them in traditional style. Grainne plays meticulously, but never at the expense of feeling. Her lovely music is nicely complemented by extensive and well researched liner notes and by the gorgeous design of the CD box. A most pleasing aural and visual experience.
