Karen Marshalsay, The Road To Kennacraig. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision 8.5/10


The Road To Kennacraig is one that few will probably undertake, only perhaps the adventurous will see the possibilities that such an affair could produce, the sense of the windswept town joining in the ravishing sound created by the mysticism of the harp, one that the whisper of angels themselves would find hard to emulate.

However, if you should undertake the journey to Kennacraig, then in the company of one of the finest harpists in the world would surely make the adventure that much sweeter. For Karen Marshalsay, that expedition is one that gets deep into the traditional and the contemporary, one that is blessed to have all three Scottish harps centre stage and giving the acoustic lift that heightens the senses gloriously.
