Thank you so much, not only for this splendid recording, but for the lovely works of art which accompany the concerto - a feast for the eyes as well as for the ears!
My parents had this recoding, along with some Mozart harp pieces, on vinyl. We used to listen to it on long car trips (on cassette, of course). I've been trying to find this particular performance for ages, as none of the others I have heard have ever matched its beauty. Thanks!
I've been searching for this for years, since my first wife left, taking the old cassette tape that this was on with her. I listened to this piece for over twenty years with her. Bless hear heart, we're still friends, but she lost the tape.Thank you so very much for posting this. It really made my Thanksgiving-eve evening!
I first came across Zabaleta through Alan Keith’s Sunday night BBC programme in the early 60’s of Eichner’s playing of this lovely harp concerto.I totally agree, his rendition of the Handel harp concerto is superb. Thank you for publishing it.
Perhaps the cleanest, brightest and best performance of this piece. It is in modern (rather than Baroque) tuning, which suits this piece best. I believe Handel originally wrote this as an organ concerto, but on harp it has a much more angelic quality. However, I believe there is a 2nd/middle movement which is missing from this.
This originates from a series of organ Haendel organ concerts. This particular organ series establishes more than firmly what a great keyboard improviser Haendel must have been.
This Concerto was written for harp and was performed during the premiere of the oratorio "Alexander's feast". In its original premiere it said: "Concerto in B flat major in three movements for harp, lute, lyric and other instruments." Later it was grouped with the other concertos op 4, which are for Organ and Orchestra.
Thanks, Pergolesi that was a great piece of handel, can you please Pergolesi name the pictures on the slides who are they? its good to know these aristocrats, Thanks Pergolesi
Cristian Petru Balan HARPA (dedicată din inimă lui George Frederick Handel care a compus cea mai frumoasă melodie din lume pentru harpăl): Harpa uitată în miezul nopții lângă fereastra deschisă într-o noapte de mai, atinsă suav de razele lunii, cântă singură... Nu intrați! Lăsați-o să acompanieze-n taină trilurile privighetorii din tufișul de trandafiri de sub geam... Briza flutură-ncet perdeaua, însuflețind-o coregrafic în ritmul sunetelor dulci, abia perceptibile..
IMSLP is a fantastic resource for finding scores. Organ Concerto in B-flat major, HWV 294 (Handel, George Frideric) imslp.org/wiki/Organ_Concerto_in_B-flat_major%2C_HWV_294_(Handel%2C_George_Frideric) I know it says Organ but this is it, trust me. Apparently this concerto was originally written for solo Harp and orchestra but was rearranged for organ which is how it is known today.
This is not the whole concerto. The larghetto is missing. You can listen to the whole concerto with Zabaleta here ruclips.net/video/7D7K4TJOxfQ/видео.html
I am aware that it is not the full concerto. However, at the the time of uploading, over ten years ago RUclips had a restriction on video length. Please accept my sincere apologies.
Actually, thats a common misconception. This piece is the only one Handel ever wrote for harp. You are right Handel was a great keyboard improviser and he wrote a lot for organ, but this one was written for harp.
This Concerto was not the only thing that Händel wrote for Harp. He also wrote sections and solos with Harp soloist in works such as Saul or Giulio Cesare, among others.

Now my daily dose of heaven, this version is great.
Thank you so much, not only for this splendid recording, but for the lovely works of art which accompany the concerto - a feast for the eyes as well as for the ears!
Une des plus belles œuvres d'händel !
Majestueux !

Harp is considered a Heavenly instrument and Handel provers it to be.
I love Handel!!
Yes. This the best harp music ever I have heard
Today I've got the sheets of this concerto and I'm gonna learn it during the summer holiday...Oh my god I can't wait to play it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did you learn?
The brilliant and delicate sound of the harp is wonderful
I've been searching for this for years, since my first wife left, taking the old cassette tape that this was on with her. I listened to this piece for over twenty years with her. Bless hear heart, we're still friends, but she lost the tape.Thank you so very much for posting this. It really made my Thanksgiving-eve evening!
Really a great piece and magnificent images ! Thanks for this rare pearl.
This is indeed the finest rendition of this composition. Rich bass, pure sound from the violins, crystal clear harp playing.
Handel's music was divinely inspired! Naturally, his harp concerto is heavenly!
I first came across Zabaleta through Alan Keith’s Sunday night BBC programme in the early 60’s of Eichner’s playing of this lovely harp concerto.I totally agree, his rendition of the Handel harp concerto is superb. Thank you for publishing it.
Serene, celestial, joyful; like so many of Handel's works! ❤
Breathtaking! I have been hunting for this piece for literally years!! Bless you for the posting of it!
Infinite grace! Divine work! Thank you for posting!
Thank you so much, I am pleased that you enjoyed it. The fact that you are from Italy means a lot to me. Italy is the birth place of the Renaissance.
amazing
Beautiful music and paintings. Thank you♥️
It's the essence of the 18th century. Just so elegant and very original for the time too..
Splendid music
Great artwork to accompany the music. I'm glad I found this video
Beautiful!
Beautifully done. Love just love this song.
Nice, peaceful, cheerful and dynamic interpretation
a spectacular rendition of such a beautiful piece
I liked verry much this
That is a particularly lovely rendition. Thank you for uploading it. The paintings are fantastic as well, and lend just the right atmosphere.
Both sound and color have been by far the best in the world.
Absolutamente mágico y celestial
Grazie. A list of all the well-chosen paintings would be a godsend. I do realize, though, that it would be a lot of work.
정말 사랑스럽고 아름다워요~

Thank you so much, this means an awful lot to me.
Ah lovely! I heard it long before. Brings back memories. HWV 294 isnt it?
If there is a heaven, this is the soundtrack ❤

וואו!!!!!!!!!!
GLORYOUS !

Harpa uitată în miezul nopții
lângă fereastra deschisă
într-o noapte de mai,
atinsă suav de razele lunii,
cântă singură...
Nu intrați! Lăsați-o
să acompanieze-n taină
trilurile privighetorii
din tufișul de trandafiri de sub geam...
Briza flutură-ncet perdeaua,
însuflețind-o coregrafic
în ritmul sunetelor dulci,
abia perceptibile..
Surely we should be told the name of the orchestra????
Where can I get the scores please? Thank you.

Isn't this the recording played at those old Anatomy video atlases?
What is the painting at 7:25?
Please can you identify for us who are these people in the painting or each name of the painting many thanks to you
I made this video over 10 years ago, so I am sorry I can not remember.
Who was the painter of the Paintings ?

that sounds tho...

Very very good, indeed. But, in my opinion, the best one is by Marisa Robles on Decca. But at this level, the difference is very small.
