Customer Review: This is one of the best albums of Welsh triple harp music out there. Bowen plays with warmth and with passion (in a Welsh sense).

Customer Review: This CD is the best of the "very best" Welsh choirs series because of the variety of song types IMHO. Several tracks could be technically better. Let's hope that this one gets stocked again
