The lever harp, also known as the Celtic harp and by various names in Celtic languages, has quite a distinctive sound as compared with the usual concert harp. Traditionally strung with wire (harpist Lauren Scott uses several different strings here for greater timbral range), it has a sharp, brilliant tone that resonates only slightly. It's not common in the classical repertory, and this release may attract listeners curious about it. Scott offers compositions of her own, in a sort of ambient pictorial style that maximizes the sounds the instrument is capable of producing, and she adds extended techniques such as percussion and note-bending that are layered on more heavily as a composition proceeds: these are mixed with contemporary works. Listeners may be surprised to see the names of John Cage and Peter Maxwell Davies on the program, but Cage's In a Landscape (the piece that inspired Scott to make the recording), originally for piano and an homage to Satie, and Maxwell Davies' Farewell to Stromness, another piano work and totally limpid, fit well here. Perhaps the highlight is Scott's adaptation of the Beatles' Across the Universe, with the harpist adding little high glissandi of indeterminate tone above the melody. An enjoyable crossover release for those who enjoy the harp.
