About

Virtuoso harpist Marshall McGuire was born in Melbourne but went on to study at the Paris Conservatoire and the RCM. He has performed as a soloist with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, English String Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and has become a great champion of new music for harp, including, on this recording, a piece composed by Elena Kats-Chernin.

This disc features the modern classics of the harp repertoire, such as Cage’s In a Landscape, Britten’s Suite for Harp, Berio’s Sequenza II and the piece McGuire has made his own, Peggy Glanville-Hicks’ melodic and beautiful Sonata. His previous recordings have generated praise: “McGuire …is plainly a musician of exceptional imagination and flair, reflected in his choice of music as well as in his superbly assured playing.” The Times.
