Reinhold Gliere’s 1938 Harp Concerto is a great example of what to do when writing for the harp: it features arpeggiated figures, rich chords, and simple melodies. It’s also a work firmly rooted in the Russian Cosmopolitan style of his day. It’s our Evening Masterwork tonight: Reinhold Gliere’s Harp Concerto, tonight at 7, on Classical WSMR 89.1 and 103.9.
