about

“Creativity overflows from track to track with one excellent tune following another .... and with many refreshing and innovative touches throughout. At the heart of it is the wonderful ensemble sound of harp and dulcimer perfectly blended.”
Capturing the essence of Ireland's mystical Burren region of Co. Clare, this album presents timeless compositions that are "... indeed magical! With this, their fourth album, they achieve a musical maturity that puts them in a class by themselves. One of the best albums of its kind in many a year."

- Rich Nevins, Shanachie Review

about

Magical Strings Seattle, Washington

Philip and Pam Boulding form the core of Magical Strings, creating their singular sound with Celtic harps and hammered dulcimers of their own design and construction since 1978. Their lush mix of traditional Celtic and original music infused with classical/world music influences is supplemented by virtuosic multi-instrumentality on whistles, accordion, concertina, guitar, piano, valiha and more. ... more
