Angel
Airs — "This recording is truly one of the most exciting new
Christmas harp recordings released this year. Christina's mastery of the harp
and her creative ability to compose and arrange is indescribable! Joining Christina
Tourin on this album of traditional and ethnic carols are: Karen Kevra on
flute and Judith Hitt on cello and recorders. Christina uses a variety of bells
to let us know that Christmas is ringing throughout the land. Her original
composition with words, Little Dove, describes the deepest feelings of the
Holiday Season. This is the kind of recording you will want to listen to over
and over." J.D.

Emerald
Harp — From the mists of Avondale to the sacred waters of
Glastonbury's Chalice Well, the Emerald Harp carries you to the glens of Ireland
and Britain. Christina Tourin's style, a mix of
pure traditional and ambient soulful dreaminess, evokes the spirit of the old
bards. Come on a magical journey to the Isle of Avalon; sacred stone circles,
groves of oak trees and the trickling waters of the Chalice Well.

Folk
Harp Music of Austria — Christina Tourin
— The Tyrolean harp music on this recording presents three ways to enjoy this
unique instrument. The harp stands by itself as a solo instrument, as an
accompaniment (to the accordion of Maria von Trapp) and as an equal in ensemble
compositions (with the recorder and zither featuring Rosemarie von Trapp).
Christina performed at the Trapp Family Lodge for 17 years - the home of the
"Sound of Music".

France!!!

Harp Seal Lullaby
— When Christina Tourin learned that the little
harp seal pup was being hunted for it's pure white pelt, her heart and energies
went out for their protection. The crystal harp produces similar bell-like
sounds that are often heard in the underwater calls of the Seals. The haunting
refrains of the wooden flute and the panpipes sustain the melodies over the
ripple of harp strings. The ocean is ever-so-softly present, lulling us into
dreamland. This 70-minute album is perfect for massage and meditation. The
Lullaby, Suo Gan, (theme from Empire of the Sun), music from Scotland and
Ireland, and the beautiful Concierto for Aranjuez by Rodrigo are featured along
with Christina's original compositions.
