Alison Kinnaird, Ann Heymann & Máire Ní Chathasaigh
The Harper's Land—Ann Heymann & Alison Kinnaird
This fine recording illustrates the
differences between the wire-strung
harp and the gut-strung harp. Ann
Heymann is a master of the wire-
strung harp, and Alison Kinnaird is
one of the leaders of the gut-strung
Scottish harp tradition.
The Silver String—Alison Kinnaird
CD with bonus DVD! This album brings back lost gems of the Scottish harp repertoire. Featuring Alison on gut and wire strung Scottish harps and on cello. Alison is joined by her guests Ann Heymann (wire strung clarsach), Charlie Heymann (bones), Christine Primrose (vocal), Alasdair White (fiddle and whistle), Mike Katz (whistle), and producer Robin Morton (concertina).
The Scottish Harp—
Alison Kinnaird
Alison's records were the first to bring attention to the repertoire of the Scottish harp and to give the instrument a solo rather than an accompanying role. She continues to stress the importance of playing harp tunes rather than simply playing tunes on a harp.
Queen of Harps—
Ann Heyman
The wire-strung harp, or clarsach, was the harp of the Gaels of Ireland and Scotland. Ann showcases her knowledge of traditional music from her Irish American family background, and her study of the surviving music and manuscripts.
The New Strung Harp—
Máire Ní Chathasaigh
Traditional Irish music on the harp. Máire's unique approach to the instrument has been a prime influence on Irish harp playing in recent years.
