Nightscapes for harp
(DG)
5*
GERMAN harpist Magdalena Hoffmann’s Deutsche Grammophon debut album for solo harp is inspired by notions around different nightly landscapes.
A special time for all human beings and a very good time for music and dancing, the Nocturne over the ages. Chopin and John Field at the heart of the album, that comprises both original pieces for solo harp and compositions for piano, transcribed by Hoffmann herself, who portrays a multitude of nightscapes, from those seen to those known by intuition.
