I can feel a rant coming on. Not only does this album not remotely
belong in Classical, but Sony ought to be ashamed for leaving out one
track and then expecting us to pay more for an incomplete collection
than the CD goes for on Amazon. Bastards!
Okay, rant over. Now let's talk about the music. Catrin Finch plays
the harp. And if you're like me, you can tolerate two, maybe three
harp tracks before you want to hear something else. Anything
else. But that's what's so interesting here. Because these aren't
just harp performances. And they certainly aren't classical
harp performances. There's the infectious energy of
Café
Vamp Latino, the New Agey sound of
Mountain
Dance, the Irish lilt of
ThingamuJig.
And yes, there's even a bit of classical in
Clair
de Lune. (Which for some reason the iTMS insists on calling
Claire De Lune, but never mind that.)
As a fan of crossovers and covers, I think a little bit of classical
is just fine.
Although I'll be buying my copy at Tower, thank you very much.
Bastards.
