長澤真澄 豎琴 塞西莉亞.貝納迪妮 小提琴
"In 1805, on the basis of his brilliant yet expressive playing, the 21-year-old Louis Spohrwas appointed Konzertmeisterat the ducal court in Gotha. By this time he had also begun to make his mark as a composer, and during his years at the court he would add several pieces for the harp to his list of works, inspired by the young harpist DoretteScheidler. Spohrlater recalled his reaction to her playing: 'I was so deeply moved that I could scarce restrain my tears... I took my leave –but my heart remained behind!' Only months later, the two were in fact married and Spohrbegan to compose works which would form the repertoire during future concert tours.
DoretteSpohr played a so-called single-action pedal harp of a similar type to the instrument used on this disc. Soon to be replaced by the double-action pedal system, the single-action pedal harp was best suited for playing in flat keys. As Spohrpreferred writing his violin parts in sharp keys, which allowed the resonance of the open strings, he adopted the method of tuning the harp a semitone lower, which had the added benefit of reducing the tension on the strings. The Sonatas Opp113-115, in D and G major, therefore have harp parts notated in E flat and A flat major respectively. Because of its delicate construction and stringing, the single-action harp has a distinct silvery bell-like sound and these sonatas are among the last important works specifically written for it. They are also the most demanding, but it is clear that Spohrintended them to display not only the technical skill of the two artists but also their musical expressiveness. The performers here are Masumi Nagasawaand Cecilia Bernardini, who have made a particular study of Spohr'swritings on performance practice."
