Info for L’ESSENZA dell’arpa barocca a Napoli

In the Baroque era, the harp was an instrument that colored all kinds of music, whether vocal, instrumental, religious or secular, and had a strong fascination with people. The invention of the three-stringed instrument in the early 17th century ushered in the golden age of the harp by Neapolitan composers. All six composers recorded here are from Naples or are related to Naples. Although rarely mentioned in music history, they are noteworthy for pioneering a new style of keyboard music and greatly opening up the possibilities of the harp. Marie Nishiyama's Album, where the spirit of Neapolitan musicians spreads endlessly.
