Review

For those who are notfamiliar with LaviniaMeijer, she is a rising star inthe world of classical music.This is her third recordingfor Channel Classics andshe continues to raise the bar for all harpists.This collection of Fantasies and Impromptusare beautifully played. Featuring two worldpremieres – the 2nd Impromptu from G.Verdalle and J. Snoer’s demanding Fantasie.There are also works from Pierne, Spohr,Saint-Saens, Faure, Roussel and Gliere. Hertouch throughout is delicate and assured.Highly recommended.
