"...her compositions are written in a traditional style, and fit well with the traditional tunes. I particularly liked The Mossy Bower, which had a Scottish feel to it... Listening to Avalon did have a relaxing effect on me. I tested it by listening to it several times at work when I was feeling stressed. I found that I relaxed physically, and my thinking slowed own. Stephanie Bennett's harp playing was impeccable, and the recording quality of the CD was excellent. Avalon was very enjoyable to listen to, and would make an excellent addition to the relaxation section of a CD collection." - reviewed by Mary Ann Fricko, Folk Harp Journal, Winter 2002 |
