You're not supposed to play the Celtic harp like this. And in fact, Rüdiger Oppermann's custom-made electro-acoustic harp can barely be called a traditional instrument. He uses the effects of an electric guitarist and can bend the strings like a blues guitarist. On Fragile Balance, he weds this instrument to cross-cultural music that recalls the Paul Winter Consort with a distinctly older European cast. Pieces like the title track are gorgeous, almost quaint refrains shadowed by accordion, while "Riding a Horse with Five Legs" is a vigorous workout with a tabla.

Rüdiger Oppermann (born 1954) is a German harpist and experimental musician. He specializes in the Celtic harp, which he began playing in 1973. He also recorded one album with jazz harpist Park Stickney. Oppermann's records usually feature some solo performances on the wire-strung Celtic harp alongside band pieces involving folk musicians from around the world (playing traditional instruments), and sometimes a few jazz musicians, to accompany him. Rudiger Oppermann might be best described as a free-style and experimental folk musician, who draws on both ancient and modern musics and musical traditions, to create a melting pot of musical cultures that cannot be ascribed to any one folk tradition. 1998: Celtic Harpestry (CD und Video/PolyGram). 1998: Fragile Balance (Shamrock). 1999: Spirit Of The Steppe (ock).
