Keziah Thomas’s harp transcription is beautifully played. Having just one player allows Thomas a degree of rhythmic flexibility that feels exactly right; numbers like the slow movement of “Spring” are delicious. I like the moments where everything feels stripped to its essentials; the hushed middle section of “Summer” really works, the harp’s lowest notes chiming out like bells. And check out how Thomas reinvents the opening of “Winter”, an unlikely mixture of seductive warmth and bitter cold.
