Description
Virtuoso harpist Coline-Marie Orliac transcribes Chopin piano pieces for harp on her new album, "Harpistically Yours, Chopin".
Frédéric Chopin's music is closely associated with the piano as most of his music is written for this instrument. French harpist Coline-Marie Orliac did not want to miss playing Chopin's inspiring music and took the audacious task to transcribe it for harp. Among Chopin's signature works is her arrangement of the Ballade op. 23 No. 1, displaying to the listener her breath-taking virtuosity while always adding a fresh and more transparent sound to Chopin's music.
The album also contains seven songs by Frédéric Chopin wonderfully interpreted by the Ukranian-Polish soprano Olga Pasichnyk.
"To most of us, Chopin's music will always remain the pinnacle of contemplation, introspection & intimacy - an intimacy that I sometimes find difficult to discern on today's imposing pianos. The harp, however, is the salon instrument that can offer its listener a mystical palette of emotions and that is why I decided to make this album." Coline-Marie Orliac
