La Vida Buena: The Good Life
Wildfire Records EI472CD, £11.99
Young, exceptionally musically gifted and living in Barcelona, this young Borders woman was taught piano by virtuoso Ronald Stevenson, counts Philip Glass as a pal, and is one of Scotland's leading contemporary small harpists and composers. Here she plays a dozen of her pieces on the electro harp in moods mesmeric – as in 'El Delfin' (The Dolphin) – to her road movie 'Motorbike Blues', to the hand-clapped melody of 'Gypsy' from in Zaragoza. Strongly atmospheric and expressive.
