This guy. Best ever. Totally awesome.
Fascinating to hear this type of music played on the harp - from the listener's point of view, it is somehow more approachable than the piano... 👍
Fantastic! The cross strung and chromatic harp grows every day!. Merci Sylvain!
Fascinating! I've never seen someone actually play one. I wondered what the technique looked like. And I had no idea the 5th finger was part of the technique. I would love to see how the Debussy Danses are performed on it since that's what they were written for.
Traditionally on the technique developed by Risler the 5th finger wasn't used. I have no opinion, but it seems younger harpists playing the whole tone chromatic in Europe are using the 5th finger approach more often. It appears to work here as well.
This is my top pick for the evening. I commend you for your work.
Mille bravos, cher Sylvain ! pour t'adapter à tant d'instruments si différents. Et jusqu'à P. Boulez ! qui aurait sans doute été très intéressé et même touché d'entendre ses notations ainsi (lui qui a d'ailleurs souvent transcrit ou revisité certaines des ses propres œuvres).
What a treat to find, didn't even know this instrument existed. 🖕🤙 Interesting technique
Très intéressant et très beau! Merci
Excellent; majestic. 👏🏻,👏🏻,👏🏻.
Je suis très touchée par ce récital qui met en valeur la harpe chromatique d'une si belle et si sensible façon. J'ai passé les plus belles années de mon enfance à jouer, explorer cette harpe, à improviser et inventer librement des morceaux qui ressemblaient étrangement au répertoire présenté ici. La technique n'incluait pas les 5e doigts, mais pourquoi pas … Vous écouter et vous voir me redonne très envie de jouer … Merci pour l'audace et l'inspiration!
What an amazing achievement
Merveilleux ! Et on peut mettre le cinquième doigt à la harpe ,donc!
Incroyable !!
As a composer, I actually would have preferred the chromatic harp to prevail on nowadays' pedal diatonic one... I find the whole process of pedalling cumbersome for both players and composers, even more so when writing highly chromatic or atonal music. If I can, in these cases I tend to employ two harps, but a chromatic instrument would have been so much better!
Wow!
Nice work!
Sheer skill. Nicely filmed and edited. Great demonstration of finger technique.
Ok- nobody get mad at this question, because I am really genuinely interested in the answer as it might help me appreciate the genre of music more: So people who really like 20th century classical music- what are the emotions/thoughts you experience when listening to it? I have some musical knowledge but certainly not enough to give me a purely academic appreciation for the dissonant quality, so I can only tolerate a minute of it before becoming either depressed or angry. Again - I am not insulting it, I am just genuinely interested to hear what manner of mental stimulation/enjoyment one experiences when they do understand it? Does it make you feel happy? Or is it more about stimulating your creativity?
I would really love to get my hands on one of those beautiful Pleyel harps. Any idea where I could get one?
Why not play music written for the chromatic harp?
I suspect this faint playing would be inaudible in a concert hall.
Because the chromatic harp was specifically intended to make piano music accessible to the harp!
@@nonenoneonenonenone Because there's barely any, and it's not the greatest. As long as something works on both a piano and a harp, why not?
