‘This Curious Harp’ features a programme of mainly unrecorded British music for solo harp performed superbly by the distinguished harpist Eleanor Hudson, former Principal Harp with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic and recorded in St Saviour’s Church, Wildboarclough, in the heart of Macclesfield Forest in north west England during the earlier stages of the 2020 Covid-19 Lockdown – quite legally with the harp needing no ‘social distancing’! The programme opens with York Bowen’s beautiful Arabesque, the only item on this CD to have been commercially recorded before (once) and features delightful unrecorded music, specially composed for the Harp by Bantock (Sapphic Dance), Hamilton Harty (Two Spring Fancies), Leonard Salzedo, Geoffrey Burgon, Stephen Dodgson, Ian Parrott and Thomas Pitfield.
