The Release

"a vibrant array of
multi-cultural harp music arranged
to delight and soothe the senses"

Apasionada is unique in that it has a lot of recorded sonic presence to match Alison's superb harpistry and it constantly draws you away from the outside distractions and into Alison's world of rhythm and musical intrigue.

This solo CD features three harps - Canadian professional musician Alison Vardy's Sandpiper Celtic harp, her Paraguayan harp, and her new Bresch Celtic harp. The tunes include a mixture of Celtic, Latin, Contemporary, light Classical and World Ethnic music plus seven of Alison's own original compositions.

Close your eyes and you are sitting alongside the harp literally feeling its presence!

Apasionada - Alison Vardy's Celtic Harp CD

I've selected my
favourite pieces of
music and ones which
demonstrate the diverse
repertoire of the harp.
Hence, there is a very
wide range of styles
and tempos to enjoy
for all occasions.

Alison Vardy

Apasionada was recorded in the natural reverberation of an acoustically "live" space with Melodeon Studios in Victoria, BC, Canada. The recording quality of Apasionada is very good as all the tracks were recorded live using top quality professional microphones directly to analogue tape for additional "warmth".

(16 tracks - 65 minutes playing time - Released July 2000 )
