The harp is the ultimate romantic icon: the instrument of angels, and of Cupid, the god of love. One of the world’s oldest musical instruments, yet one of the most versatile and cherished, its modern counterpart also has the largest range of any orchestral instrument. This dreamy collection pulls together an equally extensive range of concertos for harp, contrasting the towering figures of Handel and Mozart with gems by lesser-known composers such as François-Adrien Boieldieu and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger.

Works:
• Albrechtsberger, J G: Harp Concerto in C major
• Albrechtsberger, J G: Partita in F major for harp & orchestra
• Boieldieu: Concerto for Harp and Orchestra in C
• Dittersdorf: Harp Concerto in A major
• Handel: Harp Concerto in B flat major, Op. 4 No. 6, HWV 294
• Mozart: Flute & Harp Concerto in C major, K299
• Wagenseil: Harp Concerto in G major
