Piazzolla - Milonga del Angel on chromatic harp

[@attilakovacs5803]

It's five years since my previous comment. I keep coming back to this video, a real gem. It's beautiful how your hands dance their own milonga on the strings, very suitable to this melancholic piece, a milonga of a real angel. Thank you!

The cross string has the edgy ethereal quality that that the concert harp loses in its refinement. Always love Mirjam's playing of anything from Jazz standards to classical.

What an absolutely magical moment of music.

[@biorythmicshifter]

Oh my god this sounds absolutely divine…beautiful beyond words.

Maravilloso hermosas posibilidades con el cromatismo , gracias.

[@benbrown8258]

I could not say enough good about this piece. You make it sound like Piazzolla wrote it for this harp. Your performance is stunning and entrancing.

[@ChaseChandlerMusic]

Having just found out their are chromatic harps, this is a great video example! Thanks.

[@andylowings]

Very nice playing. The cross strung harp has touched me.

[@mariaccleary]

wonderful Mirjam! merci!

[@MarkHeller13]

Wonderful playing - this music really suits the ethereal sound of the harp...

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

@c33r0k33 Thank you for your comment! i'd like to try the other piazzolla angel pieces as well... would be nice to make a cd!

[@lucenarpa1]

buenísimo excelente magnifico espectacular muchas gracias por esta belleza en arpa cromática de una de las mas bellas melodías de Piazzolla

[@attilakovacs5803]

Hello Mirjam, this is absolutely lovely! I can play it on the guitar, but now I must get a cross strung harp, too!

[@delunaharps]

Simply Sublime! I love it, thanks for sharing.

[@c33r0k33]

Astor Piazzolla is like chocolate mousse to my ears and on the cross strung... this is truly an experience... Mirjam your playing of this is exquisite!!!.... If you ever record this on CD I'd like to know.

[@raphaelpinel]

Wow Mirjam... You made a big job with your harp. Very inspiring. You feel so free... And it is a pleasure to listen to you. Thank you so much

[@crossharps]

Absolutely stunning, Mirjam! Your playing is unbelievable!! And that harp sound so beautiful! It is a full five octaves? I love Piazzolla, and hearing (and seeing!) this on the cross-strung makes me love it even more! What an inspiration!

[@echosoloconcertina8637]

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

@crossharps thanks! almost six octaves (low E till high c#) of nice sounding cross strung strings, a harpists heaven :-)

[@Memale2009]

Ah! Quelle découverte! Mes félicitations!

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

@raphaelpinel Merci! The harp is really great! (all the buzzings are my own :-)

[@mariaccleary]

and another chromatic cross-strung harp: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZm7k2x_adxqhrs

[@jaybesq]

Outstanding! What a complicated piece! Would this be even harder to play on a lever or pedal harp given all the sharps?

[@HarpSong]

hello ... just wanted to let you know.. listening and watching this amazing vid has been the reason i now want a xstrung and want to learn to play it. i play single row 31 string and have for some 20 years. what an inspiration you are; interpretation, phrasing, so much heart. How long have you been playing xstrung and did you find it difficult to come off of a pedal/single row harp? Please share your harp story, and who you have studied with? thanks so much, tristan

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

hello Tristan, thank you for your comment! i hope you have the chance to try out a crossharp, it's so fun to play! I play chromatic besides the pedal harp and celtic harp and still find it difficult sometimes (trying from 2007). The technique is very different but that's also what makes it nice to discover (i learned most things on the chormatic harp myself). On my websites www.harpchromatic.com you can find more info, don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! All the best, Mirjam

[@crystalindigo6461]

what a stunning harp, wish you said what make it is! lovely video

[@mirjamrietberg2896]

thanks :-) it's a harp built by Otto Zangerle in Ebbs, Austria

[@arpista]

Brava, molto coinvolgente!

[@wots72]

Amazing! Your playing is so beautiful. Did you create the arrangement as well?

[@MiaBeeMusic]

This is so beautiful. Miss Mia

[@MikeDaigleMusic]

oh goddddd this is beautiful! u have to mute every string after youv played it? well as long as its not part of the next chord. That look incredibly hard!

[@therealzilch]

Lovely. As a harp maker about to build my first cross harp, I must ask: have you tried 5x7 cross harps too? My tendency would be to build a 5x7 harp, because the layout is more familiar- do you think the 6x6 is easier to learn? Bedankt. Groeten uit Wenen, Scott

[@reginr]

Thanks for playing so well! Who made your harp?

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

It's a harp from Otto Zangerle in Ebbs, Austria

[@pm1139]

Prachtig !!

[@dianisseya]

Amazing!! What is the model of your chromatic harp? Do you know were i can buy this model?

[@mirjamrietbergharp]

Hello Diana, thanks! This harp is build by Otto Zangerle. You can contact him here: www.zangerle-harfen.at/

[@jondoes8222]

Where did you buy your harp from , price?

[@BlackPearlGamer]

Is it bad that I want to steal some of the phrases for my guitar writing?
