Review of Catrin Finch, harpist (2 tracks)
This interview would be best served if broadcast on classical radio stations--it really needs that context. . It's a broad interview that covers a lot of territory at the expense of getting some real insigt into Catrin Finch as a musician. After a 12 minute interview you'd hope to have some new insights into classical music and the artistic process. This deoesn't happen but perhaps if you played some tracks from her new almum, which is the hook to this interview, you'd have a stronger understanding of Finch and her gift as a musician.
