Chopin & Liszt are both hailed as composers who belong, above all, to the piano. Liszt is perhaps the greatest technician the instrument has ever known, and Rubinstein described Chopin as the “soul of the piano”. Why, then, play these composers on the harp?

In December 2010 Anneleen Lenaerts was appointed Principal Harp of the Vienna Philharmonic.
