PRAISE FOR LATHROP’S WALTZ:

From Folk Roots, May 2008

Sarah Bauhan is a wonderful flute and whistle player from New Hampshire, and whatever else one might say, her recorded output is substantially less than prolific. Back in the ’90′s, two albums (The Untamed Grasses and Broad Waters) serendipitously emerged like jewels from the many piles of errrm, non-jewels sent this?way. Since then there’s been nothing until now.
She has a real knack of picking and writing some cracking tunes from or in the tradition, and assembling a similarly talented bunch of musicians to provide carefully arranged sympathetic help to succour (including in this case, the splendid Bob McQuillen, a quartet of young Orzechowski’s and several others). On the tune side, her material ranges from the familiar (Calum’s Road, Off to California, Brenda Stubbert) to her own lovely tributes to her father (April’s Waltz, LAthrop’s Waltz) – both of which deserve wide exposure. All are played with no fuss, a lot of warmth, and a delightful melodic feel. But, a virtuoso player with absolutely no need to flaunt it, Sarah’s never afraid to take a back seat: there are two songs from Chloe Green (The Snows They Melt the Soonest and Garnet Roger’s The Lost Ones) and a guitar solo from band member Marko Murray to vary things a little.
All in all, another really lovely, thoughtful and subtle album that holds the attention from start to finish, and which will doubtless keep finding its way back onto the player, like its predecessors. A keeper, as they say. — Bob Walton
