Magnifique composition qui éveille les sens par ces temps moroses ! Merci, Danke, grazie !

[@Os-Viajores]

Thank you friend! I never imagined that classical music could be so broad in numbers of composers, and you are showing us how vast this wonderful segment of music is, certainly the best of all.

Thanks for your kind words! :-) About Steibelt, sorry this is all i have with Steibelt.

Ein schönes stimmungsvolles Adagio und ein sehr schönes Rondo Allegretto. thanks for loading

[@janvermaak9971]

I do not know this composer but the music is very special and soothing.So mooi!

I think Steibelt's 8th piano concerto (lost) had a choral finale. It would take a bit of picking and choosing but there should be an exploration of his music. This Harp concerto is rather good.

Thanks for this upload. I had not heard Steibelt before now. It might interest some to know that his chief claim to notoriety nowadays concerns a run in with Beethoven during his early Vienna years. The two pianists squared off against each other in competition such as was popular in those days. Beethoven proceeded to wipe the floor with him, to the extent that Steibelt apparently departed while Beethoven played and made it a stipulation that he never again be invited to participate in any such event in which Beethoven was also invited.

[@mrjimmienoone2130]

It was an improvisation contest, similar to the "cutting contests" in jazz. And Beethoven made a perfect parody of Steibel. - The first notes of what Steibel had played were later used by Beethoven in the 'Eroica' (see www.classiccfm.com, "The man who challenged Beethoven"). After this incident, there were no other "musical duels" with Beethoven. Obviously, no one else wanted to commit musical suicide by challenging him.

Delightful, played in period instruments. Single action pedal harp.

[@almuston4397]

i just looked up 1807 concert pedal harp that was apparently the first years these pedal harps were introduced to the world of clasical music. i know there is many different types of harps as there are winds, strings, pianofortes, percussions etc. I just commented to see how you could tell that it was this very single action pedal harp and also to ask if you were taught in the world of music?

Comme la première lumière de l'aube, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrice de la croyance dans l'au-delà et des pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces architectures sonores tire les ficelles du cœur, attire les nostalgies et éveille les amours, les vies et les veilleurs endormis!

KD, Once again, Thank You! I've wanted to hear more of Steibelts music for a long time. I know his music has a high likelihood of being slighter than his contemporaries, but I'd like to truly hear for myself. Even if he falls short of the dark grandeur of Hummels Op. 85 & 89, he may still have composed something beautiful. I wish Hyperion would try some of his piano concertos for their RPC series. Until then, thanks again! Do you have any more Steibelt, especially featuring the harp?

This concert deserves an effort to find more works but it seems quite difficult to find other recorded pieces.

[@dmitrysofronov8624]

The cantabile, that starts at 9:55 (!!!!!)

[@annika936]

sick fire beats bro awesome job

[@almuston4397]

has this version a manuscript or a score? Also other harp concerto with manuscripts/scores are welcome.

[@josedejesuscorrales391]

La tonalidad de la pieza no está indicada. Me parece que es Re (D) mayor. ¿Estoy en lo cierto?

[@theopaopa1]

si. la tonalidad es re mayor

[@glou4]

KD, I'm sorry- I just keep thinking of what lies dormant. John Thomas, Royal Harpist to Queen Victoria, wrote for harp & orchestra, as did resident-British Charles Oberthur. Chandos should explore composers from Britain, or who worked there for most of their musical lives, and who are from the Romantic Era.Do you have any music from that direction? If anyone would, it would be you!

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Oberthur and Thomas had little talent as composers, so, no.

[@glou4]

KD, Or any other forgotten, neglected Romantic compositions for harp, especially a Harp Concerto? Thanks.

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

There are many more classical-era harp concertos than 19th-century, until late, when the harps were improved, as pianos had taken over.

[@kaybeenullenvoyde9196]

Why can't men dress like that anymore?

[@mhwharp]

Because they have more sense now.

[@davidtalbot941]

They can, but they choose not to.

Isn’t this the dude that Beethoven made a laughing stock?
