Boieldieu - Harp Concerto in C Major

從來喜歡聽音樂會前對演奏的曲目作一些溫習及了解, 自己對豎琴的曲目認識不多, 正好藉此機會作一點研究.....  幸好現在互聯網資料豐富, 要文字有文字, 要聲音有聲音, 比當年唸書時搜集資料容易得多呢!  而且內容還可以很豐富, 有聲有畫!

Boieldieu - Harp Concerto in C Major

François-Adrien Boieldieu (December 16, 1775 in Rouen – October 8, 1834 in Varennes-Jarcy, Essonne)

• Period: Romantic (1820-1869)
• Country: France
• Genres: Concerto, Opera

He wrote this wonderful concerto for harp and orchestra in 1801. This piece of music is very melodic and full of French spirit. It is one of the masterpieces of the harp repertory.  Each of Boieldieu's three movements appeal to several different emotions.  Movement 3, in particular is one of my favorite pieces of music.

Here below is a magnificent performance by Xavier Maistre on movement 3 found in youtube:
