Maggie Sansone ~ Hammered Dulcimer
The
best all instrumental Celtic-Christmas CD ever! Timeless carols are reborn
with a Celtic spirit in chamber folk arrangements performed on hammered dulcimer
with Celtic harp, recorders, cittern, violin, mandolin, guitar, concertina,
viola da gamba and hand drums. Contains 20 additional bonus tracks of Celtic
music from the Traditions. (58:42 minutes)
"Goes perfectly with the mood of Christmas... Expertly accompanied and with great variety, the instruments ring out clearly and naturally... Well worth looking for!"
