Description
Harpist Lauren Scott's debut album, Beyond the Horizon, was a breakout sensation. Her scintillating follow-up, Sea of Stars, promises to follow in its footsteps.
Lauren explains: "Scintillating ... the act of light hitting a many faceted object, sparks flying or the execution of something with panache and brilliance. The harp, with its quicksilver sound and ever-shifting resonances, easily fits these definitions."
Sea of Stars casts Lauren's own compositions and arrangements alongside original works by Grace Evangeline Mason, Rudiger Opperman and Monika Stadler. Throughout, Sea of Stars is a brilliant showcase for Lauren's inimitable style and virtuosity, demonstrating her consummate skill as both a lever and pedal harpist.
"revelatory; beautiful, raw and rhythmic." – BBC Music Magazine *****
