Carol Thompson offers selections that show a deep understanding and love for the Celtic musical tradition. Born in America of Anglo-Welsh-Irish background, Carol Thompson began studying classical harp at age 13 with Dorothy Knauss, a student of Alfred Holý. Years of study of the Neo-Celtic, pedal and triple harps gives Carol a special feel for the music of Ireland, Scotland and Wales that few possess. This understanding transmits a universal connection to these traditional tunes which is uplifting and refreshing. Carol's well-known mastery of the Celtic Harp is evident in her performances of the airs, dances, and laments on this recording.
