Since her debut at the age of 18 with Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic, American harpist Yolanda Kondonassis has achieved widespread recognition as one of the foremost exponents of her instrument. Her recordings are some of our best-sellers. On A New Baroque CD, Yolanda Kondonassis turns her talents to music by the Baroque masters. It contains favorites such as 2 of Bach's preludes from The Well-Tempered Clavier as well as his Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring. Her transcription for two harps of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major beautifully presents the melodic interplay and intricate voicings of the various instrumental parts. Other selections on this 55 minute solo harp recording are by Handel, Scarlatti and Bach.
