An album of arrangements for harp made by the artist herself of some dearly loved and familiar works.
Richard Strauss: Morgen
“Richard Strauss is one of my absolute favorite composers. Whether it is his opera Rosenkavalier or his Vier Letzte Lieder, they are all masterpieces that move. So is the song “Morgen”, which in all its simplicity immediately finds a straight line to everyone’s heart. I hope that even without the sung words, the essence and beauty of this work are conveyed in this version for harp solo.”
Erich Korngold: Tanzlied des Pierrot
“Through my work at the Wiener Staatsoper, I played many wonderful operas. One of the most beautiful ones is “Tote Stadt” in which Korngold makes eager use of the harp. Tanzlied des Pierrot is an enchanting intimate excerpt of this opera.”
Franz Schubert: Ständchen
“When it comes to Schubert’s famous Ständchen, Vienna is not far away and may not need much further explanation. This is one of the last songs the Austrian composer composed, and it remains beautiful, with or without words.”
W.A. Mozart: Fantasia
“Mozart only did find his way to the harp via the double concerto for flute and harp. At that time, the chromatic possibilities of the harp were not as developed and therefore less interesting. Thanks to the modern double pedal system, it is a wonderful challenge to transpose this Fantasy for piano on harp, among others, and to place it in a new light.”

Anneleen Lenarts is already one of our foremost young European harpists. All of her harp renditions were revelatory in their lucid clarity and tonal allure.
The Liszt pieces have technically daunting virtuosic sections, particularly in cadenzas. Lenarts tackles all these difficulties as though they didn’t exist, with fluency and natural ease which is breathtaking. Even the tricky Liszt concert study ‘Waldesrauchen’ (Forest Murmurs) comes off as if written for the harp, with a delicacy of touch in the passage work which is magically sprite-like.
That old warhorse “Liebestraume” comes newly minted, being given narrative flow which is usually neglected. Led by Lenart’s dynamically shaded singing tone to a spectacular climax with scintillating fireworks in the fizzing cadenza, this is an interpretation to treasure. The carefully chosen Chopin works too are a wonder, from the passionate and wayward early Polonaise Op.26 no. 1, to a fragrantly perfumed Nocturne Op.9 no.1 and a simply superb rendition of Chopin’s finest nocturne, Op.48 no 1 in C minor, which is as good as any I have heard from the great piano masters.
Another hoary old Chopin piece, the Fantasie-Impromptu in C# minor, is presented as if new. The speed and clarity of articulation in the whirling notes would make any pianist green with envy, and the dramatic ebb and flow of the piece are superbly realized, with the full rich sonority of the harp brought into play at climaxes. I was left feeling that I might well prefer her harp version over the usual piano ones.
Anneleen Lenarts shines new light on the two featured composers with her compellingly idiomatic arrangements and spontaneous musical communication which goes from her nimble fingers (and feet!) straight through to the listener’s heart. This disc held me spell-bound, and I would love to hear some more from Anneleen Lenaerts; she is, without doubt, a musical enchantress. Enthusiastically recommended. 5-Stars for Performance, Stereo, and Multichannel DSD Sonics.

As Anneleen Lenaerts proves, Nino Rota brought the same gifts to his music for harp as he did to such unforgettable film scores as The Godfather, La dolce vita and Romeo and Juliet.
“What could be better than to sweep an audience away and give them a moment of pure joy?” Anneleen asks. “For me, that is Nino Rota’s most important musical message.” In addition to selections from some of his most beloved film scores, the album also features Rota’s Concerto for Harp and Orchestra, Sonata for Flute and Harp (with Emmanuel Pahud), and Sarabanda e Toccata.
