Sharlene Wallace | bio homee-newsconcerts & workshops
recording artist
Sharlene has created four independent CDs. the rhyme & the river was praised in the Toronto Star for "eloquent" music, "expressive ... exotic ... calming". Journey of Shadows, a winter inspired album, elaborates the amalgam of original, Celtic and South American influences explored in the rhyme & the river. Beyond the Waves includes rhythmic and evocative compositions for solo harp and accompanied by accordion, sax, violin, cello, bass and percussion, and the short play CD Island Mountain presents Sharlene's Island Mountain Suite and Alfredo Rolando Ortiz's Merengue Rojo.

Sharlene is also heard on recordings by Loretto Reid and Brian Taheny, Jeff and Michael Danna, Kirk Eliott, Ken Whitely, Ron Korb, and Dan Gibson, amongst others. For a detailed discography, please click on discography.

   

The recording work of Jacques Poirier is also notable here, with intimate, close-microphone techniques capturing every motion and breat of Wallace as she executes her smooth, gentle performances. Her harp is covered with a stereo perspective, astounding in headphones, that reveals gorgeous stereo panning across Wallace's glissandos and arpeggios. Tasteful mixing lieaves Wallace shining brilliant in the warm backdrop of her comrades.
