With this stellar 2-CD set, New York harpist Victoria Drake has created a new incarnation of the Bach cello suites.
Making the transition from the cello to the harp was a feat of technical and artistic virtuosity.
Victoria's transcriptions are beautiful on the harp, and she has kept the integrity of Bach's original compositions.
Victoria's fine, intricate harp playing makes this relaxing CD set a true treasure, and a wonderful addition to the harp repertoire.
