Sivan Magen (first prize winner of the 2006 International Harp Contest in Israel) performs Marcel Grandjany's Rhapsodie at the opening concert of the 10th World Harp Congress in Amsterdam, July 2008.
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.
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.

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