Elias Parish Alvars Jan Ladislav D - Musings

Facts Musical love letters, dedicated to the muses of their authors: the young Austrian harpist Elisabeth Plank, selected by the Wiener Konzerthaus as "Great Talent" for the past two seasons, has collected more than a dozen of them for her new GENUIN release. In doing so, she focuses on the private sides of well-known and lesser-known composers. The album includes three premiere recordings of works by Gustav Mahler, Alfred Zamara, and Elias Parish Alvars. The emotional scope of the works ranging from Sergei Prokofiev to Jan Dussek extends from fleeting impressions to deeply moving laments of love - presented in finely balanced interpretations with sparkling, richly colored harp tone and flawless phrasing. Genuine repertory discoveries!
