Julie Andrews and John Coltrane, take note! Capping a year in which she also released her epic rock, pop and soul symphony ALL MY STRINGS, versatile harpist Mariea Antoinette creates a stirring rendition of “My Favorite Things” unlike any other you’re likely to have heard. She brings her tender, eloquent melodic flow and keen improvisational sense to a mix that builds in intensity with a tasty, dynamics-filled swirl of hypnotic, funky percussion, plus single string instrument and energetic orchestral sweetening. After the wild symphonic crescendo, Antoinette wraps with a graceful outro full of holiday magic and mysticism.
