Details:
Keepsake is a rare gem among folk music recordings: beautiful and haunting traditional tunes are presented in an exceptionally sensitive, lyrical, and completely unpretentious style on the small (26-string) folk harp. Drawing from Harper Tasche's extensive knowledge of ethnic musical traditions, these songs and dances come from Ireland, Norway, the Isle of Man, Scotland, Albania, Cumbria, Poland, Greece, and America. They are set like precious stones in arrangements of elegant filigree, which enhance - rather than overwhelm - their inherent beauty. This is pure acoustic music exactly as you would hear it live and "unplugged" - without heavy equalization or reverb, "nature sounds," or synthesizers.
