Lullabies

Released in 2013, Lullabies is a curated collection of 21 tracks that showcase Catrin Finch's ability to distill complex melodies into their most essential, soothing forms. Moving away from the more experimental or virtuosic displays of her earlier career, this record focuses on the functional power of the harp as a tool for peace and sleep. The tracklist is a thoughtful mix of German Lieder (Brahms' Lullaby), French Impressionism (Satie), and traditional Welsh folk songs, all unified by Finch's signature 'crystalline' touch. The recording quality is exceptionally high, capturing the mechanical intimacy of the harp - the slight sound of fingers on strings - which adds a human warmth to the otherwise ethereal atmosphere. Critically, it is regarded as a standout in the 'easy listening classical' niche for its refusal to over-produce, relying instead on the natural decay and harmonic richness of the solo instrument. It remains a staple for listeners seeking music for mindfulness, parenting, or insomnia.
