Bernard Andres' suite of seven duets, named The Dyades, is (so far) my all time favourite set of duos for lever harp. Each piece is a little slice of life ... a little snippet of beauty, showing the variety and range of the lever harp at its best. They are priceless. Over the lockdown I asked a group of gorgeous harpists and friends if they would record and video a part each of The Dyades - with a harp buddy over the oceans and as a result we have this suite of gorgeous duets played by a diverse group of talented harpists. Check out their own websites to find out more about each of them. Dyades #1 played by Elizabeth Volpe Bligh (Canada, www.elizabethvolpebligh.com) and Eira Lynn Jones (UK, www.eiralynnjones.com) Dyades #2 played by Anna Dunwoodie (NZ) and Raphaelle Villa (France) Dyades #3 played by Gustavo Beakini (Brazil/NZ) and Esther Swift (Scotland, www.estherswift.co.uk) Dyades #4 played by Keziah Thomas (UK www.keziah.co.uk ) and Anne-Marie O'Farrell (Ireland www.annemarieofarrell.com) Dyades #5 played by Eleanor Turner (UK www.eleanorturner.biz) and Adriano Sangineto (Italy www.adrianosangineto.com) Dyades #6 played by Amanda Whiting (Wales, www.amandawhiting.com) and Josh Layne (Canada, www.joshlayne.com) Dyades #7 played by Alexander Rider (UK) and Ann Yeung (USA) |
