Known for her work with New Age group Celestial Winds and her solo albums of Celtic harp, Lisa Lynne makes acoustic music that is soothing, heartfelt, and instantly inviting. HOPES & DREAMS, Lynne's fourth album as a solo artist, has a haunting quality that extends across all 10 tracks. To Lynne's credit, the Celtic flavor does not dominate here, as each composition--though highly melodic--is flowing, open in style, and given over to the moods of deep, sometimes melancholic introspection.
Flutes, strings, guitars, and assorted instrumentation join Lynne's harp throughout the album; the arrangements are always tasteful, and complement the delicate, angelic nature of Lynne's playing. "Soliloquy," for example, matches a stately bowed cello line to Lynne's graceful arpeggios, creating an ambience of solitude and reflection. "Dreamdance," by contrast, has a lighter, breezier melody, with the harp flanked by guitar and flute. The range of sensitive compositions and pensive moods on HOPES & DREAMS makes it a fine addition to Lynne's growing discography.
