In an original and novel CD the harpist Mara Galassi performs on two contrasting period instruments, a Welsh triple harp and an rard pedal harp. It contains both compositions written by Handel for the instrument, as well as later arrangements by composers such as Edward Jones and Nicolas Charles Bochsa, in new works partially attributed (in a somewhat doubtful manner) to Handel.
This is Galassi's third disc for Glossa (following Il Viaggio di Lucrezia in 1998 and Les Harpes du Ciel in 2003, two CDs which have been quietly acquiring cult status), and on it she shares centre stage with the keyboard player Giovanni Togini, who acts as the ideal musical companion on organ, harpsichord and fortepiano.
