Fine playing and an intriguing programme, which sees two popular works by Handel with some little-known but quite remarkable works for solo harp, including the Santa Fe Suite by major Welsh composer William Mathias, whose Celtic Dances and String Quartets are also on Diversions – the only recordings of these pieces. On three tracks Rachel is joined by organist Ronald Frost at the organ of St. Ann’s, Manchester.
