Review by Chris Rally
The Harp of New Albion by Terry Riley is a mesmerizing album that showcases the composer's unique musical style. The album features Riley's signature minimalist compositions that blend elements of classical music, jazz, and Indian classical music. The album's title track, "The Harp of New Albion," is a stunning piece that features Riley's mastery of the harp. The 30-minute long piece is a journey through different moods and textures, with Riley's harp playing serving as the anchor that holds the piece together.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Waltz for Charismas," which features a beautiful melody played on the piano, and "The Heaven Ladder, Book 7," a piece that showcases Riley's skill as a composer of Indian classical music. The album's final track, "In the Summer," is a joyful and upbeat piece that features Riley's playful piano playing.
