Welcome to the stage Primor Sluchin—a world-class harpist and one of the only women to play in the famed Berlin Philharmonic. Handel's only concerto for harp (later published for organ) offers improvisatory musings and exposed, rolling solos. By contrast, our title piece is a chromatic exploration of Spanish and Portuguese dance. Tchaikovsky's Suite also has dance influences and presents a colorful and emotional "walk in a garden." The Magic Harp, also known as the Rosamunde Overture, is a warm-hearted and good humored work by a true master.
