This 1983 duo album brings together American harpist Ann Heymann, a long-standing leading figure in Irish harp performance, and Alison Kinnaird, a renowned Scottish harpist who is also one of Scotland’s most celebrated glass sculptors. Featuring a collaboration between the Irish harp and the slightly differently shaped Scottish harp, the album faithfully interprets traditional music while elevating it into a contemporary resonance through their exceptional technique. A work that can also be highly appreciated as an animistic New Age piece.
