French Music for Harp and Strings
The repertoire for this CD of harp music, featuring the brilliant young Norwegian harpist Ellen Sejersted Bødtker, focuses upon French music for the harp, written predominantly during the early twentieth century. Four of the pieces are by Debussy, whose innovations in harmony and delicate use of the orchestra had a profound influence upon twentieth century music, while Ravel is represented by his masterly Introduction and Allegro for harp, string quartet, clarinet and flute, and an arrangement of his popular piano piece, the Pavane pour une infante défunte for harp and cello.
