Award-winning French harpist Emmanuel Ceysson and friends present masterworks for the harp by Ravel and Debussy, alongside lesser-known music by their contemporaries.
The two works by Ravel and Debussy in this programme were commissioned by harp maker rivals Maison Erard and Pleyel et Cie, to show off their latest models of the instrument. Ravel created a concerto in miniature for the harp that's lavish in style while Debussy opted to explore 'gravity' and 'grace' in his two dances. Alongside these, a Sonatine by innovative harpist and composer Marcel Tournier and music by Andre Caplet a friend of Debussy who was inspired by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe.
