Elizabeth-Jane’s album contains ten ethereal pieces of nineteenth century harp music discovered in old archives and recorded in the ballroom of a crumbling empty mansion in the wilds of mid-Devon.
Contemporary accounts describe audiences listening “with breathless pleasure upon the exquisite effects…entranced as if in some blest dream they heard the witching melody of heaven.”

“I'm listening to your CD now, and have been all afternoon. It really is fantastic. It's enormously restful and inspiring and evocative, and it has a grandeur to it that I hadn't expected.”
David Boyle, eminent British author and journalist who writes mainly about history and new ideas in economics, money, business, and culture.

“It really surprised me. I must admit I had imagined a sort of gentle easy-listening type of instrumental music. It really is an exciting sound: spirited, vigorous and heartfelt. Definitely one to play again and again.”
Ron Saunders, writer and film researcher, formerly responsible for British Pathe’s film holdings at Pinewood Studios

“These are all premiere recordings of long-forgotten works discovered by Elizabeth Jane in nineteenth century archives. The recording was made in a Victorian ballroom in Devon, and the acoustic seems perfectly suited to the harp. If you need some soothing listening to transport you well away from the troubles of the day, you could hardly do better than this magical collection. Pure delight from start to finish!”
