Derek Bell - The Mystic Harp (1996)

Derek Bell, of the Chieftains, captures the haunting, mystical quality of traditional Celtic music on this solo album of original melodies by Donald Walters.

Derek has played harp for 23 years with five-time Grammy Award-winning group, The Chieftains--Ireland's best-known interpreters of traditional Celtic music. Classically trained, Bell joined the group in 1972, after a distinguished career as a harpist with the Northern Ireland BBC Orchestra, and as a professor of harp and Irish harps at the Belfast Academy of Music.
