Album Notes

Caroline Léonardelli releases a modern romantic classical harp album featuring Canadian composer Marjan Mozeitch and 20th Century French compositions.

This recording has received a 2010 Juno nomination for Classical Album of the Year - Solo or Chamber Ensemble.

Review from WholeNote Magazine!
El Dorado
Ottawa-based harpist Caroline Léonardelli’s fourth album to date offers an enticing mix of old and new: a program of beloved French standards by Debussy, Tournier and Damase book-ended by compositions by Canada’s leading composer for the harp.

Reviews:
“A piquant potpourri of harp music tempered by melancholy expression... Léonardelli is a skilled musician.”
– Gramophone Magazine, November 2009

Léonardelli’s sensitive voicing and phrasing in Song of Nymphs (also a Mozetich composition) sets the interpretive standard. It doesn’t get much better than this for solo musicianship or recorded sound.
