Liszt Of The Harp
Label: Claudio Records Catalog: CR4939-2 Format: COMPACT DISC Jones, IeuanIeuan Jones began playing the harp at the age of six. He discovered the instrument in mid-Wales while he was at school. When he was 13, he became the youngest member of the National Youth Orchestra of Wales. He went on to join the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain, and then gained a scholarship to study with Marisa Robles at the Royal College of Music. After four years with the Royal College of Music, winning all of the major prizes including the Queen Mothers Rose Bowl for most distinguished student of his year, he won the Royal Over-Seas League Music Competition (only the second harpist to do so in fifty years) and came in runner up at the Israel International Competition. He tours the world regularly with his harp, and has performed in more than twenty-five countries, given concert appearances with some of the world’s leading orchestras, and has many recordings to his credit, this being his most recent. “Jones is an instrumentalist who seems welded to his instrument by more than career choice. He convinces you that while he is playing, nothing else matters: an amazingly focused musician.” (The Age, Australia) Price: $20.99 |
