It's easy to quickly settle into the gentlest of atmospheres created by such lovely harp music as this. Harp as in Heaven, not as in blues, need I say? Superb orchestral work from the renowned Nashville String Machine sets the framework for this most fascinating solo instrument. Vote of thanks due to producer, arranger and orchestrator supreme Larry Dalton for polished skills and exemplary attention to detail. Wonderful arrangements and renditions of such melodic gems as Twila Paris' "Lamb Of God", "Give Thanks" and "Fairest Lord Jesus" are devastatingly beautiful, coaxing out every last drop of splendour from these lovely tunes. Meatier items include "A Mighty Fortress" and JS Bach's title track. Don't know about "Sleepers, Wake!" but I am sure the Wakers will sleep deeply after such peaceful healing music. An album to treasure for long term enjoyment.
