Ursula Holliger

Ursula Holliger has performed as a soloist worldwide: individually, in small groups, and with many of the world's best known orchestras and conductors. She plays both the classical and the baroque harp. Some of her interpretations have become performance benchmarks: one can single out her several recordings of the Mozart Concerto for Flute and Harp, as well as her interpretation of the Handel Harp Concerto with Trevor Pinnock. Her recordings of works for violin and harp by the eighteenth century composer Louis Spohr and her marvellous registering of the Second Concertante for Harp, Violin and Orchestra with the English Chamber Orchestra led by Heinz Holliger have become legend. In addition, her nuanced recordings of the French masterworks for harp by Debussy, Caplet, and Ravel have been recognized as classic.
