Obra: Fantaisie in A major, for violin and harp, Op.124

La symphonie emblématique du compositeur de La Côte-Saint-André a bénéficié de l'engagement d'un bel Orchestre National de France, malheureusement émoussé par la direction de Thomas Hengelbrock.

István Várdai delivers a knockout punch in Saint-Saëns' Cello Concerto no. 1 at the Franz Liszt Music Academy. 

Regular concert-goers are used to hearing the harp on a church altar or mixed in with a large symphony, barely audible above the mass of strings, bass and brass. But the St Luke’s Chamber Ensemble put the harp center stage, in an evening of 20th-century French music, no less.
