About

Appropriately, the Welsh harpist and composer John Thomas was born on St. David’s Day in 1826. In later life, he was invested with the title of Pencerdd Gwalia (Chief Musician of Wales) and became harpist to Queen Victoria. His works are performed by the Welsh mezzo-soprano Rachel Ann Morgan and Edward Witsenburg, the doyen of Dutch harpists.

Rachel Ann Morgan is a harpist who also sings, in the standard Welsh tradition but her basically folk-orientated style of delivery, which is fine with the Welsh settings, sounds decidedly uncomfortable in what are effectively Italian or English art songs...However Dutch harpist Edward Witsenburg has exactly the right feeling for the music that one would more naturally expect from Rachel Ann Morgan. They combine well in duet.
