Johan Henrik Lorentz (1763-1818)

Harpist Rachel Talitman performs the world premiere recording of works by Johan Henrik Lorentz. Johan Henrik Lorentz, or Lorentzen , 1763-1818, was a Danish harpist and composer. Lorentz composed mainly for the harp, though most of his compositions were not published. This double album opens with the Concerto for Harp, in B flat major. In typical form for the classical period, the first movement begins with the orchestra's introduction, then the harp solo exposes the themes in their diverse tonality. The second movement is poetic, including a melodic dialogue between the harp and the oboe. The third movement is in the classical form of the baroque Rondo ABA,CA,D, used very often by Haydn and Mozart.
