By Request

For this first solo harp album, Anne Barbara Akerson has recorded almost 60 minutes of some of the most enjoyed and beautiful songs worldwide – a collection of melodies most requested from her travels nationally and internationally. Ranging from classical works written for the harp to transcriptions and arrangements from the standard piano repertoire along with a sampling of movie, Broadway show tunes, opera themes and folk music, you will find this relaxing and purposeful listening. The addition of the oboe on two tracks is a wonderfully refreshing surprise.
