"I am a dreamer" is a seven-track improvisational acoustic album from talented Dutch harpist Anne van Schothorst. Anne's compositions are captivating and relaxing. The listener can immediately tell that she pours her heart and soul into these compositions and that she is one with her harp. The high point of this album is that it is entirely improvisational, enabling Anne to take a theme, or a previously composed piece of music, turn it on its head and make it uniquely hers. Anne successfully conveys the emotions of each song solely through the harp, and the songs on "I am a dreamer" take the listener into a dreamlike state, perfect for introspection, meditation and outright relaxation. This album is also well-produced and sounds great, with each note clear and crisp. "Snowwhite bird" opens the album with beautiful high notes and introduces the listener to Anne's sheer talent. "Bonjour tristesse," literally "hello sadness," provokes the emotion through the vibration of the harp strings. "I am a dreamer" is filled with great classical and improvisational harp compositions from Anne van Schothorst with great calming effects. Fans of talented, relaxing harp progressions and classical music, will find this album to be a nice addition.
