3 stars Some gems poorly set

I own this cd and many of the cds from which these tracks are gleaned. As an introduction to several of Dorian's artists, this cd may be useful. On its own, it is rather uneven and sometimes clashing. The character of individual pieces is not allowed to emerge because of the great variety and inadequate organization. Also, be aware that the pieces do not always represent the character of the original albums, and that these pieces are sometimes not the best from those albums. Also, the harp is not actually very prominent on this album. On the other hand, there is a great variety of harps and styles of music here, some peaceful, some delightful, some annoying.
