Sheer Beauty

Virginia Allain (Poinciana) | March 5th, 2018 

An ad described Angel in Disguise this way: "Kim unveils a new instrument: her voice. Similar in style to Eny and Serah, Robertson's graceful harp is accompanied by the sublime violin of Alasdair Fraser." The tunes lilt and soothe as the notes ripple from the harp. I love it. Many of the songs are traditional celtic folk songs.

Dreamy and Haunting! You Won't Be Disappointed

Ted Schultz | April 14th, 2017 

I was first introduced to Kim Robertsons music when I bought a cassette of The Water Spirit at a thrift store for a buck. Wow! I'd never heard anything so beautiful! I wanted to get a CD so that I could choose random and repeat and queitly veg and meditate or sleep. At first when I received the CD I was disappointed to see the note on the back that there were vocals. The Water Spirit is solely instrumental. But I popped it in the CD player and Kim has a beautiful, haunting voice that blends well with the instruments. I love this CD and I play it every night before bed and during sleep. You're sure to get a good nights sleep and if you ever get a headache, play it while lying down with your eyes closed. You'll never need asprin again!

Jessica Willis | October 16th, 2015 

I originally bought this CD in a local bookstore on a whim. The stores display tower allowed you to hear the song "Contemplate" as a sample. It sold me. I've enjoyed it so much that I'm here at Amazon.com shopping for another of Kim Robertson's CD's.... I've been playing "Angels in Disguise" relentlessly. I enjoy relaxing background music while surfing the Internet and this CD, out of many is my favorite...so far! Kim Robertson does vocals on several songs on this CD and she has a superb voice, yet does not overwhelm and distract, it is an etremely relaxing and enjoyable CD.

Angelic and magically transporting!

Brianna Neal | February 17th, 2012 

This sweet, soothing, heartfelt music is perfect for meditation and healing. Robertson combines her harpistry and whispery voice with gentle, ambient accompaniments by Scottish fiddler Alistair Fraser, Ron Neiman on hammered dulcimer, guitarist Liv Singh Khalsa, and percussionist Kit Bailey. This is my favorite music for self-healing, whether of the physical or psychological sort (if, indeed, there is really any difference). In a somewhat similar vein, Robertson collaborated with singer Singh Kaur on several albums of healing music in Kaur's "Crimson Collection" series. Try also "Gratitude", featuring duets by Robertson and cellist Virginia Kron.

Best ever Christmas music

Francine Falk-Allen (San Rafael) | June 3rd, 2017 

This is absolutely the best Christmas music we have in our extensive collection. We have worn out the tapes, need to buy the CD, and never tire of it. It is great to listen to the soft sounds of harp playing some of the best Christmas melodies ever written, while decorating the tree or wrapping gifts. It makes me feel connected to my ancestors while I continue traditions that for me have never lost meaning. This and her sequel album are definitely high on my list of my favorite things about Christmas.

Elegant, lilting Christmas carols on solo harp 

★ ★ ★ ★ 4 

Brianna Neal | March 10th, 2017 

Talented harpist and creative arranger Kim Robertson has a way of making even the most familiar tunes artful, interesting and uniquely her own. Her simple but pleasant arrangements here are rich, warm and delicate, taking full advantage of her instrument and her abilities. The "Celtic" in this album's title reflects the fact that Robertson plays a Celtic harp rather than the source of the carols themselves. Her musical material is predominantly English or French and predominantly familiar to modern ears, though the lesser known selections from the Middle Ages and Renaissance are lovely additions. Unnamed flute and bell players contribute in the background of several of the pieces, but the harp remains the focus. Robertson's delicate and artful celebration of the holiday season continues on "Celtic Christmas II", where she is joined by cellist Virginia Kron. For other gentle holiday cheer featuring harp, try "A Winter's Night" by Ensemble Galilei or "Ancient Noels" by Ensemble Galilei and Maggie Sansone.

Bertha Little | April 7th, 2016 

Twenty years ago,I happened to be in a gift shop on the Jersey shore.When I walked into the shop, I was surrounded by this beautiful harp music. Being a music teacher myself I quickly bought a copy of the tape. (CD's were not even available then) Two years ago in a local bookstore, I happened to come upon the C.D, and it is almost as worn out as the tape. Since that time I have been searching for anything else of Kim's, but to no avail, until someone suggested I try Invincible.

Kim Robertson has the talent and ability to take a simply lovely piece and make it multi-dimensional with patterns and shadings you never thought possible. The opening track reels you in, and you are held spellbound until the last note of the last track is played. This CD is a must-have!

Undeniable spiritual quality infuses this music. Angels seem to inhabit it, ministering to the listener. Mere stereo speakers suddenly receive the capability to exude warmth and love; harsh events occurring in the world are shut out by an overwhelming gentleness. Put this on the stereo at Christmastime and create a background of peace and joy. This is truly a gift to the entire world for Christmas.

Can't Go Wrong

K. Petty (Pinewood) | December 3rd, 2014 

If you're looking for Christmas songs that don't get on your nerves, then this CD might work for you. It's extremely mellow and great for background music around the fireplace, or you may want to fall asleep by it. It isn't what I had in mind when I ordered Celtic music (as I was expecting something a bit more lively), but it is Celtic, nonetheless. The arrangements are reverent and, at times, have a fantasia quality to them being that the predominant instrument is a harp.

AWSOME! I've first heard this harp music by Kim Robertson when I bought a tape over 15 years ago. I listened to it over and over while I was seriously ill in hosp and it was a life saver for my peace and tranquility. I still have the tape but have ordered the CD to play on my Bose which I play often especially during the Chirstmas season.

CELTIC CHRISTMAS 2

Rich and sparkling! 

★ ★ ★ ★ 4 

Brianna Neal | July 14th, 2018 

If a Celtic harp for Christmas is good, then a harp and cello are even better. The deep, smooth richness of Virginia Kron's cello perfectly balances Kim Robertson's sprightly, sparkling harpestry. The musical fare is similar to that of Robertson's solo album, "Celtic Christmas"--traditional holiday carols, many familiar and few obscure, but all enjoyable. Peaceful, resonant and calming, this is perfect music to counterbalance the dreaded holiday stress. Put on some warm slippers, sip a fragrant herbal tea and let yourself unwind. Robertson and Kron also recorded another lovely album together, the warm-hearted "Gratitude", which is sure to win your heart as well. Two other gently entrancing Christmas recordings worth checking out are Norland Wind's "December Journey" and "One Wintry Night" by hammered-dulcimer player Jerry Read Smith and his wife, flutist Lisa Maria Smith.

I always buy a couple before the holidays and give them to people I meet through my work. So far everyone has loved them and thought they are such thoughtful gifts. I get them because I love the music but it also simplifies that part of my Christmas shopping. No one has caught on to my scheme yet!

Kim Robertson's harp and Virginia Kron's cello blend beautifully to take the listener on a gentle, healing journey. Most of the selections were composed or arranged by Robertson. I learned to do Reiki and other forms of energetic healing to this serene, heartfelt music, and I always return to it when I feel the need to de-stress and re-open myself to a loving, higher source.

Help! My tape player (yes, I still have one) just devoured my Moonrise tape!! (However, as just retribution for such wickedness, my tape player was itself destroyed in the very process of gobbling up the tape - so I will finally join the 21st century and buy a Cd player). I assume the tape and Cd versions of Moonrise are the same. The tape was one of my favorite. I highly recommend it!

This was the first CD I heard by Kim Robertson. Her solo harp music on this album is indescribable- you can hear every note. It is totally relaxing and can be listened to in the background just to unwind. Then when I focus on the music it is exquisite- very moving, emotional, it really opens my heart and fills it with peace and joy. Her music sounds like it is created from a place not of this world.

Old Warhourse (Pacific Coast) | October 13th, 2010 

All of Kim's music is beautiful, but her compositions "Bittersweet" I and II, and the traditional "Aran Boat Song" are my favorites and make this one of the few collections of music I won't be without. I was lucky enough to come across Kim Robertson playing in a coffee house near the UC Santa Barbara campus back in my college days, and bought "Wind Shadows" on cassette when it first came out. I took the cassette with me when I went through Army basic training, way back in 1984, where I gave it to a fellow soldier who fell in love with Kim's music. I've gone through 3 cassettes that way and now have the CD. Thankfully, Kim's music is easily available these days and I just order a CD as a special gift or point folks towards Kim's site (or Amazon) and keep my copy for myself! :-)
