| Description: | Cello Meets Harp is an album by Mathias/Silke Aichhorn Johansen, released in 2021. The album is a classical CD. - WORKS BY ALPHONSE HASSELMANSRare but Irresistible: Cello Meets Harp Singing melodies of the cello borne by the silvery splendor of the harp's tonal cascades - Mathias Johansen and Silke Aichhorn formed their duo in 2018 in order to revive the rarely performed literature for these two instruments. It is not clear why there are so few original compositions for this duo form. In the nineteenth century the tradition was for the harp to accompany virtuoso violinists. In his time Frederick the Great of Prussia employed a harpist to accompany his own flute solos and the violin sonatas of his violinists Benda and Graun. Prior to the French Revolution this combination was very much in vogue in the distinguished residences of the Parisian nobility, and then, in the early nineteenth century, it found it's place on the German concert stage with the musical husband and wife Louis and Dorette Spohr. The combination of soft, bowed tones on the violin or the cello with sparkling runs on the harp is tonally irresistible - as Silke Aichhorn and Mathias Johansen demonstrate on their first joint album. The program includes original works as well as familiar classics and hidden treasures for orchestra or other combinations of instruments - all masterfully presented by the two musicians. The result is a unique sound space, full of romantic feeling, power, and emotion, in which listeners will experience new fascination on each new hearing."Cello trifft Harfe" is an atmospheric CD that brings together the singing warmth of the cello and the shimmering elegance of the harp in an intimate chamber-music dialogue. Performed by cellist Mathias Johansen and harpist Silke Aichhorn, the recording focuses on refined interplay, lyrical melodies and a transparent, almost weightless sound world. The programme highlights how naturally both instruments blend: the cello contributes depth, warmth and vocal intensity, while the harp adds light, clarity and a finely chiselled harmonic shimmer. Listeners can expect a carefully curated selection of works that range from poetic, song-like pieces to more virtuoso, rhythmically sparkling movements, all recorded with great attention to nuance and dynamic balance.
The CD places particular emphasis on musical communication: themes are passed back and forth like in a conversation, sometimes closely intertwined, sometimes clearly contrasted. Delicate pianissimo passages alternate with more passionate episodes, creating a compelling narrative arc that invites repeated listening. The sound production is clear and natural, allowing every articulation detail in the cello and each plucked harp string to be heard without harshness.
Cellist Mathias Johansen is an established chamber musician whose playing is characterised by a warm tone, precise intonation and subtle phrasing. He is especially noted for his sensitive ensemble work and his ability to let the cello "sing" in lyrical passages. Harpist Silke Aichhorn is regarded as one of the prominent harp players of her generation within the classical field, known for her colorful sound palette, stylistic versatility and a long-standing concert career. Together they form a duo that combines technical mastery with musical storytelling, making "Cello trifft Harfe" attractive both to connoisseurs of chamber music and to listeners discovering this instrumental combination for the first time.
The CD is released by classic production osnabrück, a German classical label that has made a name for itself with carefully produced recordings, artist-focused projects and a strong attachment to the European chamber-music tradition. The label stands for high recording quality, thoughtfully designed programmes and a catalogue that places particular value on artistic integrity and musical substance.
