“The worlds of opera and symphony merge perfectly in daily life in Vienna, and with this album, I’m hoping to take the listener on a wonderful orchestral journey with my harp.” – Anneleen Lenaerts
Anneleen chose this repertoire to reflect her life as a musician in Vienna with one of the most prestigious orchestras in the world: the Vienna Philharmonic
Pieces from both the operatic and symphonic worlds that are special to her, e.g. a concert memory of Les Préludes by Liszt with Riccardo Muti and Onegin with Andris Nelsons
For this album, Anneleen wrote a Fantasy on Puccini’s most famous opera: La bohème
Primarily solo harp, with two tracks (R. Strauss: Rosenkavalier and J. Strauss: Blue Danube) featuring
The new arrangements for harp and strings were made for this recording by Wouter Lenaerts (her brother)
Two tracks with crossover potential: Anneleen’s favorite encore, Smetana’s “Moldau”, and Dvorak’s “Song to the Moon” from Rusalka
