ALBERT ZABEL (1834-1910): Harp Concerto in C Minor, Op. 35, ELIAS PARISH-ALVARS (1808-1849): Concerto for 2 Harps and Orchestra in D Minor, Op. 91, CARL REINECKE (1824-1910): Harp Concerto in E Minor, Op. 182.

Description: Yes, the Reinecke is here yet again, but there are also two other Romantic harp concertos not otherwise available. Parish-Alvars was one of the instrument's great innovators and his concerto is a very attractive piece of minor-key early Romanticism while Zabel (1904-05) combines a late Romantic German seriousness with a final movement full of an almost Gallic balletic grace.
