About
The term ‘toccata’ is associated with virtuoso music demanding the utmost dexterity of its performer. Elisa Netzer, winner of the 2015 ‘Suoni d’arpa’ International Harp Competition in Italy, presents a wide-ranging programme which includes her own arrangement of one of Alessandro Scarlatti’s harpsichord toccatas, popular pieces such as Khachaturian’s Oriental Dance and Toccata, original works for harp such as Nino Rota’s attractively neo-Classical Sarabanda e Toccata and the premiere of the brand new Toccare composed for her by Swiss composer Stephan Hodel.

March 2019
Netzer’s own transcriptions of toccatas by Alessandro Scarlatti and Paradisi are romantically delivered with generous washes of sound notwithstanding her careful articulation; but her command of a rich colour palette is evident throughout…There’s no doubting that Netzer is a major talent.
