I was walking around Pere Lachaise cemetary today and happened to see her name on a tomb followed by "harpiste-compositeur". I took a photo, came home and discovered who she was. Very interesting to say the least. Thanks for uploading this piece.

Wow! Well she truly is a legend in the harp world.

Fun piece, but this recording sounds just a *little* too close for the listener's comfort.
