Alexandra Luiceanu (harp)About
The release is entitled ‘Matriochka’ because the works follow one another like so many faces of romantic Russia: the sad smile of Mussorgsky, the painful intensity of Rachmaninov, the voluptuousness of Erdely, the tenderness of Ivanov. They all come alive thanks to the richness of the harp’s timbres.
Alexandra Luiceanu depicts the many facets of the Russian soul like Russian dolls, one after another. Her virtuosity sounds natural in these original pieces and transcriptions. Thus, effacing itself behind the music, the harp becomes poetry.
