This recital of mainly late Romantic harp repertoire not only illustrates the important contribution of French composers to the genre but some of the innovative techniques introduced by composers of the early twentieth century. Concluding with the virtuosic Ballade composed by the great Franco-American harpist Carlos Salzédo, the disc includes a movement from the Harp Concerto ‘And then at night I paint the stars’ by the contemporary Canadian composer, Kelly-Marie Murphy, written for Judy Loman.
