Celtic Harp at Lorient 2008

[yasuragitea]

just beautiful, you used some techniques i haven't learned yet. its so exciting to hear all the different ways you can play a harp. i was rather impressed that you could play and wear a braclet. if i ever forget to take off my earings or my watch it ends up hitting my harp. this must be anther advanced technique i haven't learned yet.

thanks for sharing your gift

[lfilippimds]

qualcuno mi sa dire il nome di questa straodinaria artista?



[JimboJohnsy]

a rare and under appreciated instrument :/ but a marvelous performance

[Heath75032]

Hi Rocken

Harp makers: Dusty Strings. Triplett

You can get a good D. Strings for under two thousand dollars (26 strings)

A 36 strig harp will set you back at least $5000

The Blevin brand is cheaper

Avoid Asian makes

[spacelau]

Magique !!! comme toujour avec la Harpe !!

[Rockendrollidis]

How much does it costs a harp like this?and where I can find one?I live in Greece...Thanx in advance.

[TheWhooly]

I can play a littl bit like this, but I have problems with learning such a good play!!

I like this Music!!

[johncab13]

how many strings is this harp?

[CurtEHammell]

@johncab13 Its a Camac brand harp model Aziliz and it has 34 carbon fibre strings. Wood is mix of maple and beech. Cost as I see in USA is 4.5 thousand dollars.

[Lcr2003]

This is absolutely beautiful.

[7DarkSayomi]

y does she touch the top of harp sometimes?

[pcbutler1701]

@7DarkSayomi Folk harps have levers at the top of the strings that allow you to change their pitch. The harp only has diatonic strings (seven rather than twelve strings per octave, or kind of like only the white keys of a piano). For example, if you want to play a piece with both an F and an F# in it, you have to manually re-tune the string from one to the other by flipping the lever to adjust the pitch of the F string.

[Ravel55555]

An exquisite piece of music played by a wonderful musician. My problem? I don't know the title. Can anybody help please?

[AnnePostic]

Hi! I've just noticed the existence of this video. I'm very honored! And thank you very much for your kind comments. About the titles, it is in fact a set of tunes from Brittany, Ireland and Scotland:

2 Plinn (Breton dance, the first tune is one I composed, the second ond is traditional)

Then 2 traditional slow airs from the Vannes area in Brittany (the 2nd one is called "Mar fal d'oh hui meein dimeein")

[Ravel55555]

Hi Anne

My name is Tom Green and I am a History teacher who lives in Scotland.

Whenever I hear you play these pieces it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and makes my cheeks flush - you are a fantastic musician.

Could you tell me if you have recorded this music? I will be visiting France in August and would be happy if you could give me the name of the CD.

Best wishes

Tom Green

I have never been to Lorient but I will go next year I think. I am a very busy

[irishkeyley]

WOW!! OUTSTANDING!

[evemctelenn]

Hello, the girl who play is the very famous Anne Postic, french celtic harpist ! one of my friend !!

Eve

[chansherly212]

at about 2:58, is she removing the mutes on the strings? or is that changing the tuning of the harp?

[claireseach]

she's changing the tuning of the harp. in order to get a higher tone, you have to shorten the string, which you do by those little mechanics, the so called levers.

[chansherly212]

oh i see.. thanks!

[chansherly212]

wow this is wonderful! very catchy!

[festuned]

Beautiful music, thank you my friend.
