About

In an original and novel CD, the harpist Mara Galassi performs on two contrasting period instruments - a Welsh triple harp and an Érard pedal harp. It contains both compositions written by Handel for the instrument, as well as later arrangements by composers such as Edward Jones and Nicolas Charles Bochsa, in new works partially attributed (in a somewhat doubtful manner) to Handel.

This is Galassi's third disc for Glossa and on it she shares centre stage with the keyboard player Giovanni Togini who acts as the ideal musical companion on organ, harpsichord and fortepiano.

Recorded in Modena and Milan in September 2008 and March 2009.
