Info for Scarlatti, Baltin & Others: Harp Works
Seit vielen Jahren beschäftigt sich die, preisgekrönte italienische Harfinistin, Cristina Bianchi mit dem Werk Domenico Scarlattis. Auf diesem Album lässt sie die Zuhörer in den schier unerschöpflichen Reichtum seiner Kompositionen eintauchen. Hinzu kommen Stücke, die weitestgehend unbekannt sind oder auf der Harfe selten oder nie aufgeführt werden: Die Zwölf Variationen über die Folie d’Espagne von Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, oder die Sonate von Germaine Tailleferre, für Cristina Bianchi eines der wichtigsten Stücke der Harfenliteratur ihrer Zeit. Ein wahrer Schatz sind auch die Drei Préludes von Alexander Baltin, einem zeitgenössischen russischen Komponisten. Stilistisch knüpft er an die russische Tradition an und entwickelt daraus eine sehr persönliche, musikalische Sprache.
