WRVD - FM, Tor Jonassen in "Music in the Folk Tradition"
reviewing Ellen's CD Celtic Refractions
"Only the finest of musical suitors have ever dreamed of courting the celtic harp. Its subtle beauty and tempermental tuning require the touch of an angel and the technical musical perfection of an orchestra director. Here at last is not only the finest of the courtship but the wedding! Ellen's fingers reign supreme on the strings while her timing, intimacy with the tunes and personal warmth are indeed refracted through the harp to the maximum beauty of harp and harp player."
North East Chapter - International Society of Folk Harpers and Craftsmen, Gregory Balsevicz
reviewing Ellen's CD Celtic Refractions
"Ellen's performance of these tunes is a fine example of how tasteful playing of folk material can raise it up to the level of the sublime"
