A beautiful composition by Deborah Henson-Conant, harp solo version. Silvia Maserati - lever harp Brand new Camac Isolde (celtic model) www.infinitamusica.com
Hello I am a Japanese female living in Australia. I listened your Nightingale 1 and a half years ago and I decided to learn harp. I fell in love with this song. I was deeply impressed. I practiced many begginer songs then now I am practicing this song. Still takes so much time for me to play this but I will try:-) Thank you very much for posting this song. You are amazing!
Hi, thank you so much for posting your comment, I am honored to have triggered your interest in this wonderful instrument. This was the first significant piece in my repertoire - it was so much more demanding than the other tunes I knew at that time. "The Nightingale" means a lot in my harp path and I am happy that you are now studying it: I am sure you have the will to let your music grow and flourish and you will give joy and enthusiasm to others!
Heart-achingly beautiful! Both stilling, and soul-stretching. Listening to this causes so much yearning for a beauty that will never fade, for truth that will never be diluted with lies, and for water that will forever quench the soul. But this music seems to provide a good drink for the spirit in the meantime. :) Thank you so much for playing and posting your harp solo!!
Beautiful, of course. Yet, even more touching because it is music laced and painted with real emotion. Performed so well that anyone from any background would easily connect with it instantly.
Paul Fowler Thank you so much, Paul, for your generous words. I have watched on youtube excerpts of the amazing work you do with children: you really bring music into their lives, what a great gift!!
+Daniel McShane Thank you for you comment, Daniel. I hope you start soon your lessons, harp is an incredibly friendly instrument and I think you will play beautifully as you dream, in a very few years!
I have watched your video many times over and every time I hear you play this piece it brings tears to my eyes. Beautifully done and you play with so much emotion...thank you for sharing this...I am a beginner on my harp, but one day I hope to learn this song as it is one of my favorites.
I'm currently learning to play this song myself, and the rythm is quite hard to get right. Listening to this is really very helpful! You play it beautifully
Thank you, Nienke, I 'm happy that my rendition is helpful for your study! The ornaments are challenging, but if you keep the triplets wide and not too fast, they will result in an easier and more expressive playing ; ) Keep up your good job, The Nightingale is a masterpiece and will make you and your audience happy for many years!
" Magnificent"You played it so fantastic,I love it,very romantic,and it touch my heart,I like it so much.Do you have cd for sale?where can i purchase?thank you.
Hi Amelia, thank you for your kind words, they mean a lot to me! I haven't yet CDs for sale, but I will have within next Spring, including my favourite pieces and my own compositions. I will include a link to CDs and downloads in my videos descriptions and on my Facebook profile, Silvia Maserati. I hope you check my pages from time to time to keep posted. Blessings!
Hello Gerdes, nice to meet you on youtube! I think Camac has devoted a great effort to build high quality lever harps, with beautiful sound and personality, without considering the lever harp a "second choice" instrument or trying to reproduce the pedal harp sound at any cost. This is the reason why, although Salvi remains a glorious name in the history of harp makers, Camac matches the idea of sound of many folk harpers better than Salvi. Not to mention the levers...By the way, I love your playing and your paraguayan harp, and I hope I'll be able to buy one, one day.

Quelle est vraiment la difference entre camac et salvi par exemple?
