Ignoraba toda la relación que teniáis con el lugar de la grabación y que conocías personalmente a Frances Kelly. Una afortunada casualidad. Me alegro de que Anna toque el interludio de la obra tan bien. De lo que dices, deduzco que Karen estudió en Oxford. Un bonito lugar para pasear, sin duda. Yo lo asocio con mi lectura juvenil de Brideshead revisited, la novela de Evelyn Waugh, y la música de Geoffrey Burgon. En fin, un montón de cosas relacionadas. Un abrazo para todos.Francesc Barcelóhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060738863787460434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3342682885273133945.post-87550994397590908712014-01-24T16:20:50.457-08:002014-01-24T16:20:50.457-08:00I think you must have put this up for me! This is ...I think you must have put this up for me! This is such an imaginative and atmospheric piece. I loved the version you attached. Karen and I nearly got locked in Christ Church meadow on our honeymoon - a favourite place to walk when she was at college. Anna plays the interlude beautifully as of course does my very good friend Frances Kelly in the attached youtube. Frances told me recently that she has just played it with The Sixteen and was delighted at the reviews she received because se is more usually associated with early music on the harp. Frances brought a very old single-action pedal harp to the workshop last week - she told me that when someone heard her play she liked it so much she gave her this harp!!Jerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08701059256337022749noreply@blogger.com
