HarpOrchestraClassicalConcerto~22 minadvanced
Composed around 1800 and one of the most celebrated works in the harp concerto repertoire, Boieldieu's Concerto in C major showcases the instrument's lyrical and virtuosic capabilities against a light Classical orchestra. Its singing melodic lines and brilliant passage work made it a standard vehicle for harpists from the 19th century onward.
