Alan Stivell - Renaissance of the Celtic Harp - Gaeltacht

[@alanb2325]

It was this record that inspired me to buy and learn to play my first celtic harp. He will always be my musical god.

[@Fidelista23]

Stivell is God

[@mtglen]

Seeing Alan play this music, on this harp, back in 1978, in Santa Barbra, was what inspired me to start designing and building one of a kind custom harps. And now 46 years latter, and after over 387 harps, I am still building. 🙂 And I also am also still building laser beam harps too. 🙂

Merci pour tous les musiciens qui ont la chance de pouvoir en jouer

Прекрасная музыка, божественное звучание

I was in Lebanon, in a very small village in the south, when a freind put this record. We kept silence while magic took place in space and time... All cultures one heart..

I was a student in Poitiers in 1975 when a friend introduced me to this. It moves me to tears, it’s so inexpressibly beautiful.

[@julesdavid6068]

Same age. When friend introduced me to this to.

[@Mythographology]

I bought this album on a holiday in France in 1975. I fell in love with it like you did. Years later, my Uncle's wife protested aggressively when I saw the album in their flat and remebred having loaned it to my Uncle. All I said was, "Oh, there's my Alan Stivell album." without any other intention than recognising it. She went ballistic and started saying that they had bought it and I was always claiming ownership of things and loads of other garbage. I was 21, she was 35. I remember thinking "Oh yeah, you bought this album in Lewisham, South East London, an album with a French price sticker still on it and an album cover all in French.". I made the decision not to contest this situation with her because , I rationalised to myself, she needed this beautiful music in her life more than I needed to argue with her. I knew this music would always stay with me, and it has, and just hoped that one day she would be able to understand it herself. Here I am, heading towards 70 and this music has never left me.

[@richardtibbitts3841]

I was a student in Tübingen in 1975 when I first heard the music of Alan Stivell.

[@gracepilditch9388]

I defy anyone not to be moved to tears by it and if they’re not- they’re not human!

[@msspacecake121]

Interesting, I first heard this on vinyl in the same year in village called Ottersberg Germany I am now 57 and love this fine music... More should learn to play these older instruments ❇️

[@michaelsimpson945]

Playing it now in the Highlands of Scotland bringing back many memories of the mid 70s

[@johnsilver9734]

Descubrí este disco por mi cuenta allá en los años 90. Entonces yo era un chico de 15 años de Sevilla que no soportaba el sempiterno flamenco y que buscaba algo que de verdad me llenara. La música de Alan Stivell, junto a otros, ayudó a conformarme como ciudadano del mundo.

[@bradleyjohnson9557]

I was in School in Galway, Ireland, in 1971, I guess. Friend introduced me to the album. Was my favorite for years. And, have not heard it now for years., that wife and family thing.I had a dream last night and Alan's music was playing. Got up, and asked help from KZbin so great

[@masoodahmed2041]

Bradley Johnson Nice tale Brian, I bought this CD back in 1992 and was entranced by the exquisite beauty of the harp sound now listen to a lot of his tunes on Spotify when I am marking, I am a teacher.

yep, i also heard it over and over again in the 70s - some years ago i found something sweet again - from the 80s on i was very much into all sorts of african music, saw countless african bands and musicians live, then investigated youtube and suddenly was confronted with this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIaQeWWwnJiSeK8 love and greetings from germany

[@lordofglencoe7084]

When i walk in the Huelgoat forest or in Brocéliande , this music comes in my mind ... Don't need anything else , only this music and the wind's noise in the trees ...

[@nicolcd9555]

Yes it's so good to walk through the ground and its silence in which the music disrupts the reality herself...

[@marie-christinelange131]

BRAVO à vous !... C'est vrai que c'est très inspirant et ressourçant !!! Merci, Alan Stivell, pour ces musiques qui apaisent...

[@jean-patrickbladet945]

Alan Stivell, la du renouveau de la musique celtique.

[@TrishaLongworth]

Dear Jubal, named after Stranger in a Strange Land, I presume? I once went to a concert at the Royal Festival Hall in London in the 70s. It was my first falling in love with Stivell and his music. I remember bouncing down from the cheap (student) seats in the gods, right down to the front of the stage and dancing with a spotlight on us all the way. I'm so glad I didn't trip- it would have been an ignominious end! But I now am learning to play the celtic harp,

[@alanwilliams3264]

Absolute classic. Timeless and glorious!

Went to Stivell in the Savoy in Cork around '75-76. Got to meet him before the concert one of my happy memories of great times.

Wonderful to listen to Alan again .... first went to a concert in 1973 - 74 I believe it was, when he came to Germany .... it was only a small crowd more like a family gathering ..... spent several holidays in the Bretagne in France after that, where the tradition of the harp is still alive .... brings back so many memories .... the old church half fallen ruins and menhir fields along the coast .... enchanting to say the least ....

[@beayou109]

Ich habe ihn auch in der 1970er-Jahren in Köln erlebt in einem Saal mit mehreren 100 Zuhörern. Zum Schluss zog er wie ein Rattenfänger durch die Zuschauerreihen :-)

The Castle on the picture is in Germany. I have already slept there für 3 nights. Its wonderful.

[@MaanelSitaBlueLily]

Thank you. I first heard this album in the early 70', my mother had it on vinyl, I played it so many times. Very fine music. Have been trying to find a copy of the whole album for a long time. Cd would be good.

C'est le côté graphique et mystérieux ! , je pense .

Un château écossais dans la brume aurait été tout autant mystérieux et , pour le coup , davantage celtique non ?@@patricklacombe5186

[@jubalharshaw1447]

A little backstory by way of explanation: I first saw this picture in a Google picture search for an image to use. It had no data with it saying what or where this castle is. But the picture looked very much like Celt architecture to me so I chose to animate it to present Alan Stivell's music in this upload. I have since come to learn that this castle is actually in Germany. See this image... 4.bp.blogspot.com/-2e0m37hVFJc/V4zQkwBxD1I/AAAAAAAAWjg/aeW7opitt_MhBWDxXCFAHOSEm_ZJt5hsgCLcB/s1600/Top%2B10%2BWonderful%2BGerman%2BCastles%2B-%2BBurg%2BEltz.jpg

[@jameshogg9585]

Lovely album, yes, but there is a terrible hiss on this recording. You don't notice it at first because it starts with sound of the seashore but after 15 minutes you realise it must be the needle or turntable.

[@Tinks-13]

Yes old band driven turntable. Wish it had been a Lin sondek.

[@denisbudbud]

I guess it is assumed. And if you want it perfect i recommend buying the disc :)

[@arami777]

I thought it was the sound of the rain in the video!

[@paulbraun4193]

The hiss is wonderful as it sounds like Irish rain falling delicious

[@mjcarr4993]

I have both the record from long ago and the cd and that hissing makes it hard to hear the subtle qualities of the sound.

I had the honour of seeing Alan Stivell in concert many years ago....He is a true magician who stirs the heart and soul.

[@hans-peterklein1233]

Exactly ms take; it is the "Burg Eltz", half an hour away from by village at the Mosel river, well known on the front side of the former 50 DM, called the "brown Giant".

[@QW3RTYUU]

@@hans-peterklein1233 I am so in love with the internet. I always wanted to go to germany and great britain to visit castles. What are your recommendations?

[@PeterPaul-wz5db]

@@QW3RTYUU Try Burg Hohenzollern if you plan to visit southern part of Germany and still seat of the Prussian Family ... some 80 km south of Stuttgart ... or 30 km south of Tübingen, famous old University city .... and if there you might as well drive another hour south to the Danube River and Kloster Beuon, a very famous Monastary of the Benedict Monks .... used to spend many weekends there for my personal studies .... and wander down the Danube Valley and doing some rock climbing ... oh, and then there is Haigerloch, just some 15 km from the Burg Hohenzollern .... check it out on Google Earth ... famous also for it's Atom Cellar, where the Germans hid their Uranium at the end of WWII in a cave just underneath the castle there .... worth a visit as well .... then there is Sigmaringen on the Danube as well ....
