Marcel Grandjany - Rhapsodie (Sivan Magen, harp)

[fingerhorn4]

This gifted harpist has it all. He understands the architecture of the piece, sets it out as a drama, and executes it with fantastic technique, beautiful phrasing, wonderful dynamics, effortless playing and a truly voluptuous and magical sound. Best I've heard on all youtube of any harp playing.

[Guitarallisson]

Amazing music, very beauteful.............

Lovely musician - needs to learn how to balance the top of the harp with the middle -

[JaredPaul54]

@Sodelle Yeah, I guess that's why he won the Israel competition......

[ryry125]

i hope you realize that's susan allen you're talking to, she knows what she is talking about.

[JaredPaul54]

@ryry125 No disrespect intended. I admit to serious bias as he's my teacher... Miss Allen surely has a worthy voice.

[ryry125]

no disrespect received :) he is a wonderful harpist

[sunidak]

@ryry12

For a young student, maybe, but when someone can produce music the way he does, I don't think the position of the harp, your middle finger or whatever else matters anymore. Nothing is worse than pedantic playing.

[JaredPaul54]

Mizzrocca, I think you meant to say David. Having watched this video too many times I join you in awe.

[mizzrocca]

I'm in awe.

Excellent job, Sivan.

Davis has INDEED returned to Israel.

Does any one have any clue how to get a recording of Old chinese song? This peice isnt as famouse as any of his other peices it was actualy one of his earlier peices... Please help me (Marcel Grandjany)

[JaredPaul54]

I've never heard it played like this. But I learned to expect that. I'm lucky enough to study with him, and he's as good a teacher as he is a musician.
