Harp Concerto (Ginastera)

The Harp Concerto by Alberto Ginastera was first performed in 1965. It was commissioned in the 1950s by Edna Phillips, the harpist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Philips had retired by the time the work was ready to be premiered, and the solo part was played by the Spanish harpist Nicanor Zabaleta with the Philadelphia Orchestra, conducted by Eugene Ormandy.

2016, the centenary of the composer's birth, saw a number of performances including one by the French harpist Marie-Pierre Langlamet and the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by Juanjo Mena.[1]

gollark: I'm pretty sure it was Noether, and you seem to have ignored what I just said.
gollark: If someone found tomorrow that you could create energy from nothing, and it can't be proved that that *can't* happen unless you already start from a model, the models would have to be updated.
gollark: The models in physics are created from reality, not the other way round.
gollark: In maths you can go "if we know X axioms, we can definitely say that Y"; in science you can at most say something like "we found that things in situations X, Y, Z obey A and it's very unlikely that this result was obtained by random chance".
gollark: How? The incompleteness thing?
