About

Night falls in diverse ways on Magdalena Hoffmann’s Deutsche Grammophon debut album. Nightscapes sees the German harpist dive deep into the intimate, mysterious, magical world of night music, as well as exploring the theme of dance. Its tracklist spans everything from the austere beauty of Britten’s Suite for Harp, op.83, and languid lyricism of Pizzetti’s Sogno to the folk like colours of Tournier’s La Danse du Moujik. The recording comprises both original pieces for solo harp and compositions for piano, skilfully transcribed by Hoffmann herself.

“In the music on this album, I wanted to use the harp to tell different nocturnal stories, to dance through the night and dream the night away.” - Magdalena Hoffmann

“The harp is Magdalena’s personal playground,  a boundless space in which to make new discoveries” - BR Klassik
