Celestial Winds #1 CD by Lisa Franco: Romantic Harp CDs

Lisa Franco and David Young were the first permutation of Celestial Winds. Lisa plays a lever harp, and David can play two recorders at the same time, blending alto, tenor and soprano recorders simultaneously. This recording, which is almost 73 minutes long, features many original compositions as well as popular traditional tunes. John Lennon’s Imagine concludes this new age collection of soothing music which, according to the liner notes, is “highly recommended for anything to do with love.”

A self-taught multi-instrumentalist from an early age, Lisa Lynne has devoted the past two decades to the Celtic harp. She has sold over half a million albums of her original music for harp on the Windham Hill and New Earth Record Labels as well as her own Lavender Sky label. Her last four album releases have placed in the top 20 of the Billboard music charts, ("Hopes & Dreams" reaching #6) as well as holding top spots in the Celtic, New Age, and world music radio airplay charts.

Lisa Lynne tours year-round, performing throughout the U.S. In addition to performing, she gives presentations on "living your dream." She is also active in music therapy. In 2002 she became the first musician-in-residence at City of Hope in Los Angeles, where she conducts the "Hands-on-harps" program for patients, staff and families. This highly successful program has received accolades and multiple grants for integrating music in cancer treatment.
