It’s time to continue our Harp Music Week, here at Musica in Extenso! For today I tought that we can talk about a french composer, conductor and harpist, Carlos Salzedo.
Today on Musica in Extenso:
Carlos Salzedo (Charles Moïse Léon Salzedo)
Variations sur un thème dans le style ancien
This is Salzedo in all his pomp - starting with a simple baroque theme, then going crazy with 11 variations, some of which are in the style of traditional baroque suite dances, some are in the form of ornate clusters of scales, glissandos and trills supported by counterpoint bass. Excuse the recording, but it's hard to find someone who actually plays the whole piece, not just selections.
Stay tuned for more! - Lada, Guest-Editor
