Harp music?

Well funny you should mention him on this thread, maybe we'll finally learn exactly which record of 18th century harp music she put on his stereo that fateful day

Good read, I'm going to try and listen to 'Harps of the ancient temples' with the sound turned down and wait for it to rain.

If anyone's bothered, I want to expand the recommendations so it doesn't just have to be harp music. Any sickly, pretty music similar to Budd's 'Pavillion Of Dreams'? Choral even? Preferably mid 20th century onwards.

Maybe harps aren't that popular.

for Celtic harp stuff, try Alan Stivell - Renaissance de la harpe celtique (Renaissance of the Celtic Harp)

Several weeks ago my favorite local jazz program devoted an entire show to a jazz harpist called 'Destiny the Harpist'. The name was a turn-off for sure, but I was won over completely by show's end. She's rather new, so there's not much out there (a few Youtube vids, but all with terrible mixes - she plays in jazz combos and as you can imagine, is regularly drowned out by the other musicians). She has several tracks on a FB page and if you want something in the area of Alice Coltrane I think you'll be pleased: Destiny the Harpist (the facebook page).

Robin Williamson of Incredible String Band fame recorded an album 'Celtic Harp Airs & Dance Tunes' which is quite pleasant.
