The peaceful, reflective and emotional timbre of this recording allows the listener to enter many worlds of imagination, worlds that are capable of shaping one’s personality and destiny. Anne-Marguerite believes it is paramount for people young and old to develop their love of classical music.

The musical selections are fraught with imagination, painting images of child-like scenes filled with enchanted forests and fairies.

The soothing sounds of her pristine style over the strings provide the listener with a comforting yet contemplative atmosphere that no other can match. Her mastery of the harp truly brings the notes to dance into life. This record takes the listener back to a simpler time. Enjoy this tribute to children and to the child in all of us.
