I had a friend in college that played a harp just like this one. Me and my three roommates were all friends with her and her three roommates. Her harp used to just sit in her living room except when she would take it to campus for concerts. We used to beg her to play a concert for us in her living room. After months, she finally gave in and scheduled a Sunday afternoon living room concert. She sent out fancy, lacy invitations to everyone in the apartment building. Probably 20 or 30 people came. We all waited for her to come out of the back room to play, but, to our surprise, her three roomates each came out, one at a time, and played one or two pieces each. She had been giving them free lessons for months. After the recital, the harpist came out, thanked us for coming, and announced that the concert was over. My roommate shouted at her that if she didn't play the harp that he would pluck off all of its strings. She then played a long, beautiful piece in a classical style that lasted probably 15 minutes. We clapped our hands raw and all at raman noodles together before leaving.

[@MottiShneor]

All the hair in my back stands. And tears too. How many times have I heard these toccata and fugue? how many times have I played them myself on the piano? and here again, a rendition that is so vivid, so majestically simple and true, so un-pretentious that I just need to... need to.... hear it again. Now. I don't know what happened in the brain of J.S. Bach when he composed this piece. Have he understood what he was doing. It almost looks like the piece was imposed on his brain from the outside complete, so perfect it is. Thank you Sophia Kiprskaya for this gift to humanity. Thank you again. Will cherish this rendition forever.

[@coolcat23]

I agree her interpretation of the Toccata and Fugue is very special. She imbues the mathematical precision of the piece with wonderful moods without destroying it in the process. I think she makes it sound much easier than it is to accomplish.

[@StevenMcFlyJunior]

I watched this full entire thing. This thing had me crying about 6-7 minutes in & I don't even know why. No words, no voices, just the unfathomable versatility of this musician & her best friend: The touch of the harp. From finger, to ear, to heart. This ... this is music.
