If it's Harp as in Harp I'd recommend
Kim Robertson - "Wind Shadows"
Alan Stivell - "Renaissance Of The Celtic Harp"
Can't say I'm a Harp afficianado, but both of these are great albums.
If it's Harp as in Harmonica then there's a great compilation album "Blues Harp Boogie" which will give you plenty of leads to explore.
One of my personal faves featuring blues harp is Charlie Musselwhite - Sanctuary.
Hope this is of some use.
Regards,
Steve.

If it's classical you're after, Mozart's Flute and Harp concerto is well worth a listen.

SAVOURNA STEVENSON
Savourna is known as one of the leading figures in the renaissance of the Celtic harp in Scotland over the last 20 years, inspiring audiences and musicians alike with her fresh approach to traditional music.
In her music she identifies strongly with her Scottish musical roots while breaking through stylistic barriers between classic, folk, world music and jazz.
An outstanding virtuoso and composer, she has pushed the boundaries of the harp almost beyond imaginable belief with thrilling results. Her free spirited creative approach to music has won her the admiration of many acclaimed colleagues and has resulted in several fruitful collaborations with distinguished musicians including the legendary bassist Danny Thompson, singer Eddi Reader and June Tabor, Aly Bain, Fairport Convention and Davy Spillane from the traditional world and more recently with Internationally renowned world music artists including The Bhundu Boys, Toumani Diabate and many more at Peter Gabriel’s Real World recording studios and internationally renowned World of Music Art and Dance festivals.

As instrumentalists, I have always enjoyed Osian Ellis, Marisa Robles and Llio Rhydderch.
As a piece of music that demonstrates the power of the harp in an orchestral setting, you could do worse than search out Bantock's Celtic Symphony which uses six - nice version on Hyperion.
Malcolm Arnold, William Alwyn and Arnold Bax all have composed music that used the harp effectively.

Ludovico Einaudi "Stanze" (RCA/Ricordi 74321 45464 2)
Harp played by Cecilia Chailly
OK, it's an electric harp, but a good one, and the playing is wonderful.
