The idea behind this recording by the acclaimed harpist Oliver Wass (first prize winner at the \u201cSuoni d\u2019Arpa\u201d International Competition and now professor at the Royal College of Music in London) is to juxtapose music by Misha Mullov-Abbado with works by (mostly) Italian composers from four earlier centuries. The artist\u2019s ambition was to record the music he commissioned to Misha Mullov-Abbado and pair it with music for modern harp and Italian triple harp. The album is in fact performed on an Italian triple harp for the early repertoire, and on a modern pedal harp for the classical and modern repertoire. The performance also includes a chamber music section featuring Henry Roberts on flute, Luba Tunnicliffe on viola \u2014 both members, along with Wass, of the Pell\u00e9as Ensemble \u2014 and Gabriela Opacka-Boccadoro on violin. The CD also features a highly fascinating world premiere recording (and performance) of the Concerto for Harp and Orchestra by Luigi Molino, recorded live at the opening concert of the \u201cSuoni d\u2019Arpa\u201d Festival in Saluzzo (Cuneo) on August 24, 2024. Oliver Wass here is accompanied by the Ensemble APM orchestra, conducted by Luca Vacchetti<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
