Euripides interprets 'Elegy', the grand ancient song of lament, as a “barbaric, Asian cry of sorrow”. To some extent an exotic sound coloration also infuses the elegiac compositions of the European masters of romantic and early modern music that have been assembled for this CD. Twenty-three year old Dutch cellist Harriet Krijgh is one of today’s most exciting and promising young cellists. Harriet has been invited on to the 'Rising Star' series of the European Concert Hall Organisation (ECHO) for the 2015/16 season - she was nominated by Musikverein and Konzerthaus Vienna.
