This album is a nice selection of solo tracks. It also has four track with the Belfast Harp Orchestra. This is one of the more classical albums that the Chieftains have put out, but still has a very traditional sound. There are also several O'Carolan tunes on the album. The Chieftains were nominated and received a grammy for their work on Celtic Harp.

This a link to a photograph of the Chieftains performing with The Belfast Harp Orchestra.
