Alison Kinnaird - The Harp Key
Alison Kinnaird
COMD1001

Our first release (1978) established Alison as the leading exponent of the largely unexplored field of Scottish harp. Her research, teaching and the album re-established a repertoire for the instrument in Scotland. This and her subsequent recordings form a definitive and essential base to any collection of Scottish harp.

MELODY MUSIC - The clarsach (Scottish harp) can never have had a better show case than this

THE GUARDIAN - Superbly played and well produced ... a gem.
