We always find it difficult to rate harp music 'cause it's such a delicate instrument but in the hands of such a sterling player it is equally hard to ignore.
The music simply flows and creates much better 'pictures' of bye-gone days than any other instrument.
The accompaniment, such as here is, come from some heavyweight players, another good sign of Kathleen's talent.
