Mara Galassi
Il Viaggio di Lucrezia
Glossa GCD 921301, 1999
Mara Galassi presents a programme of solo baroque Italian harp (arpa doppia), framed as 'the journey of Lucrezia' which is described in the liner notes in a series of fictional letters from harpist Lucrezia to her patron. Mara's harp is a copy of the Barberini, the biggest and most luxurious of the extant surviving Italian baroque harps, and her playing vividly demonstrates the power and capability of this instrument. Highly recommended for anyone interested in other historical harp traditions.
