I love the changes in tempo

[@gavinmackinney8484]

Wow. This reminds me of Alan Stivell’s playing. How did you learn to play like this (esp the left hand arpeggios)??

[@harfenspieler]

I had some very inspiring teachers and otherwise just kept playing. Alan Stivell, though I never met him in person, was also a huge inspiration with his harp albums. Thank you for listening!

Lieber Ralf, WUNDERSCHÖN

[@harfenspieler]

Ja, sieht glaube ich ganz gut aus fürs Harfentreffen! 😊

[@lovetoplayharp]

Wow! Ralf! That was so inspiring. I am away from my harp for a month while I am out of town right now, and hearing this makes me miss it so much. I love your playing. I just discovered you. Thank you for your artistry. A comforting sound to me and motivation for when I return.

[@harfenspieler]

Thanks for stopping by to listen! All the best for your and your harp playing!

[@RoxaneGenot]

Impressive playing, and such strong emotions!

[@harfenspieler]

Thanks so much for your kind words! 😊

[@isabeaucorriveau]

This is beautiful! I also love the sound of your harp! What model and who is the builder? Thank you!

[@harfenspieler]

Thanks so much for stopping by to listen! My harp was made by the late Frank Sievert, back in 1995, the model is called "Silmaril", luckily its shape and legacy are carried on and they are still made by luthier Reto Hofstetter.

Beautiful

[@harfenspieler]

Thank you for tuning in!

[@VictoriaJohnsonHarp]

I am not familiar with "Plenty Kelly", though I am certain this is one of my favourite O'Carolan arrangements. I would love to find this piece in one of your future albums!

[@harfenspieler]

The only problem with O'Carolan tunes is choosing - there are simply so many great ones!

[@connieLo87365]

What could I possibly say that others have not. Worthy of a great canvas picture. Love to catch the occational smile. A true musician lets the feeling out so we can understand the story. Beautiful

Genau das Richtige für einen Tag, der sich nicht entscheiden kann, ob er Winter oder Frühling sein möchte 😅

[@harfenspieler]

Auch dort merkt man deutlich die irische Herkunft. 😀
