Description

Japanese harpist Nagisa Tanaka is the winner of the 11th International Harp Competition “Suoni d'Arpa,” 2022 edition. The CD recording, provided to the young artist by Tactus, contains a selection of compositions ranging from the late 18th century to the end of the 20th century. It consists primarily of opera transcriptions and pieces derived from dance music, enriched by two fascinating explorations: a variation on a popular aria (Paër) and a piano transcription (Respighi). This versatile repertoire highlights the technical and musical brilliance of the exceptionally talented Japanese harpist, who plays the exquisite “Iris naturale” model by Salvi Harps, a world-renowned Italian company specializing in harp design and craftsmanship.
