More Romantic-Era Harp Concertos

[EarlyRomantic]

Before interest on the subject calms, two more prominent Harpist-Composers Im deeply curious about are John Thomas and Charles Oberthur. Hardly any work by either that Ive heard is not melodic, and euphonious. Years ago, when Chandos had an open forum much like this one, I appealed to them to espouse the cause of both of these men, as either native(Thomas), or having lived their life and career here(Oberthur). Both wrote Harp and Orchestra works( Concertos, Overtures), and many chamber works. Though theyve both been generously revived with regard to solo pieces, many of even those works remain unrecorded. Prominent Harpist, Silke Aichhorn, has a Youtube Channel featuring some of her performances. I recently left a comment about this there, appealing directly to an active performer who also has a nice pattern of exploring lesser-known harpists.
