Taliesin the Welsh Harp

Old Hearth (CD)

Customer Review

Discovered too late for my taste, the Lorient Interceltic Festival 2014, Robin Huw Bowen broke my soul like crystal diamond.
I knew Patrick Ball on the Irish harp, and our inescapable Alan Stivell Cochevelou (which sparked Robin Huw Bowen vocation) on the Celtic harp and Loreena Mac Kennitt. Robin Huw Bowen does not sing, and did not have the physique of an elf; it gives the Welsh triple harp Celtic (three rows of strings ...) sensuality, warmth, flesh, stone, flame. All his soul through his fingers would be given to those of a carpenter, transcends the Welsh triple harp repertoire for. I reproached to female harpists often propose too ethereal games (Patrick Ball, for me, this default). They forget that a stringed instrument can also be perky, playful (in jigs with a pint), teasing, sad as an old fisherman, not necessarily a mourner than 15 years. So I bought this CD and emotion in Lorient (via TV, certainly) is intact. From 2007, all songs are sublime; miking offers warmth, brightness, presence and sound purity in the human and superhuman Robin Huw Bowen game that interprets and reinterprets and reinvents renews Welsh directory. He brings roundness and shimmer body to this instrument. It is surprising to have missed almost all of the harp (except Alan Stivell, who understood everything, that is, that the Celtic harp is both masculine than feminine, like any instrument), and Robin Huw Bowen us the offers with discretion and humility. To discover without tiring. Welsh harp, triple. Divine, female and male.
