Impromptu – Compendium of harp impromptus
Stream and Download of the album: [ Ссылка ]
The two great Romantic harp impromptus by Gabriel Pierné and Gabriel Fauré, highlights of the genre, mark the beginning and end of this very special musical journey through the centuries. Between these Romantic "parentheses", we discover worlds of the eighteenth and twentieth centuries.
Sarah O'Brien has arranged Baroque music by Couperin, Rameau, and Scarlatti for her instrument, while also presenting original works written before and after the Second World War - and which themselves hark back to the Baroque era: Jean Cras, Paul Hindemith, Joaquín Rodrigo, and Guy Ropartz draw on old forms such as the canzone, toccata, and sarabande, infusing them with new life.
A diverse compendium of the solo literature for harp - with a variety of sonorities that is both surprising and refreshing.
