Heidi Krutzen (harp) and Lorna McGhee (flute) play with a richness of sound, kaleidoscopic color, and dynamic range rarely heard from the flute and harp. Their fresh approach extends beyond interpretation to the commissioning of new works each year. Taheke, is a work they commissioned from New Zealand-born composer, Gareth Farr. Other 20th-century composers featured on this stellar CD are Jean-Michel Damase, Witold Lutoslawski, Adrian Schaposhnikov, Hendrik Andriessen, Astor Piazzolla and Claude Debussy, as well as Grandjany’s transcription of Handel’s Prelude and Toccata.
