Customer Reviews Simply Beautiful Put it on before bed, and you'll go to sleep in no time. This album has some of the most relaxing things on it I've ever listened to. I especially love how Kondanassis chose some songs written originally for piano, and played them on the harp (e. g. Satie and Chopin's pieces on here). A great buy! . Listened to every night for 6 years The CD gets turned on the minute I get in bed. . whether I then just listen,or read. . or even have news on TV. . . this is my relax to sleep in peace personal system. lovely, peaceful music beautifully played The pieces chosen are all mellow and quiet; they are very good to listen to while meditating or trying to wind down. I have always loved harp music, and this collection performed by Yolanda Kondonassis is very beautiful. Kondonassis plays beautifully, and her style brings a sensuous tranquility to the music. The transcriptions from orchestral to harp music are quite good, in that they don't sound like transcriptions, but as if the music were originally written for harp. .
