Pur
Siân James
The
performances captured here are very powerful and are evidence
of Siân's experience and understanding of traditional
songs. Apart from track 4 and track 10, all the songs are
traditional. They are songs that Siân is very familiar
with and as is evident from the performances, songs that
are close to her heart. The title for the album came quite
early in the recording stage. The original idea was to create
an album which was to be pure in the sense that there were
to be no other instruments added to the original sound of
harp and voice. And also pure in the fact that the songs
are rendered in a thoroughly native Welsh style. This is
the sound that Siân produces in her live solo performances.
This is a very atmospheric album, with plenty of fuel for
the imagination as old truths are carried perfectly to the
listener on time tested melodies. As the sentence written
on the back cover of the album reads, "The spellbinding
harp and voice of Siân James perfectly define Celtic
emotions in this collection of beautiful traditional songs".
