• valérie milot: orbis
      (2016, cd, canada, analekta an 2 9880)

This brand-new album by harpist Valérie Milot explores the music of Marjan Mozetich, Steve Reich, John Cage, Antoine Bareil, Gentle Giant, and Frank Zappa.
You'll have to admit that such a list of composers demands further investigation.

Most of the pieces are performed solo on the harp, but some of the piece do feature some additional musicians / instruments.

"Orbis" is a beautiful exploration of contemporary music.
Zappa's 'G-Spot Tornado' is performed on the harp but the cello, the flute and the viola in the lead.
What an amazing piece.
