LA Phil Store

From darkness to light : the unexpected harp! Travel with Emmanuel and the Quatuor Voce, starting with dark horror-stories inspired works, finishing in Debussy’s Danses luminous ecstasy. The meteoric rise of Emmanuel Ceysson, principal harpist of the LA Phil, evokes that of Frenchman Carlos Salzedo - the greatest harpist of the 19th century. On this release, Ceysson performs on a red Salzedo harp made by Lyon and Healy in their historic Chicago factory. Featuring works by Debussy, Hindemith and Salzédo, Ballad in Red is a truly diversified recital of romantic and contemporary harp compositions written for the harp as a solo instrument as well as a string quartet.
