5.0 out of 5 stars
What a shame to see this lovely album no longer available, May 11, 2002
This review is from: La Harpe Royale (Audio CD)
Andrew Lawrence-King continues to give performances as amazing as on his debut CD, only this time the composers are more familiar. Well, the Couperins anyway. In Le Caprice Royal (Francesco Corbetta) his virtuosity is nothing short of stunning, while in Les Carillons de Paris (Louis Couperin) you could almost imagine yourself listening to a real carillon, except that Lawrence-King's wooden, gut-strung harp is sweeter sounding than any carillon could hope to be.
I also mourn the fact that Spanish Dances (Ruiz de Ribayaz's 'Luz y Norte', performed by Lawrence-King and his Harp Consort) has vanished. Given some decent publicity, this CD could have become as great a best-seller as anything done by Pavarotti.
