YOLANDA KONDONASSIS

Salzedo’s Harp

Cat. No: CD80691

Hailed by the New York Times as a harpist with “powerful playing and musicianly energy”, Yolanda Kondonassis is recognized as one of the world’s foremost harpists, performing internationally both as a concerto soloist and recitalist. Exclusively signed to Telarc, Yolanda Kondonassis has been praised by Gramophone magazine for the “clarity, colour, and rhythmic vitality of [her] playing”.

This recording is a selection of music by the influential French composer and harpist Carlos Salzedo (1885-1961). His technical approach to harp playing is often referred as the "Salzedo Method." Yolanda plays on a Lyon and Healy Salzedo model harp.
