“With ‘chimaera’, Elisabeth Plank not only gives us an assessment of her instrument's position in new music,
but also a varied listening experience that even listeners unfamiliar with modern music should not miss!” (ORCHESTERGRABEN)
Elisabeth Plank's latest album "chimaera" is a journey into the fascinating soundscapes of 21st century music for solo harp: the composers explore aspects of their own identity as well as the inexhaustible possibilities of harp sounds. World premiere recordings by Arturo Fuentes, Konstantia Gourzi, Carolina Noguera, Pier Damiano Peretti, Monika Stadler & Wolfram Wagner.
The album release concerts took place in Zagreb, Milano, Tokyo, Vienna, Paris & London. To play the pieces yourself, find them HERE
