Llio Rhydderch – Enlli - Audio CD & DVD

Llio Rhydderch must be by far the most magical harpist alive today, and to hear her perform is to feel yourself in the presence of the legendary harpists of old. In composing the first four tracks on this CD, Llio Rhydderch allowed herself to be inspired by the spirit of Enlli, the Isle of Bardsey, which lies off the North Wales coast at the end of the Llyn Peninsula and has been a place of pilgrimage since the 5th century. The other tracks are equally beautiful and inspiring, and include four pieces based on traditional Welsh melodies, around which Llio Rhydderch performs her breathtakingly lovely improvisations.
