NIGHTSCAPES
With her debut album on Deutsche Grammophon, harpist Magdalena Hoffmann transports listeners to a deeply personal, mysterious, and enchanting soundscape, exploring the theme of dance. The LP "NIGHTSCAPES" unites works of austere beauty, such as Britten's Suite for Harp, Op. 83, with lyrical tranquility, like Pizzetti's Sogno, and folkloric sounds such as Tournier's La Danse du Moujik. Hoffmann skillfully combines original compositions for solo harp with her own piano transcriptions. The artist describes the night as a time of intimacy, depth, and complexity: "In the darkness, our gaze turns inward; the soul and imagination can roam freely. Whether in dreams or waking nights, the boundaries of everyday consciousness dissolve." With "Nightscapes," Magdalena Hoffmann reveals the multifaceted nature of the night and finds a deeply personal, contemporary approach to one of the oldest and most demanding instruments. She emphasizes: “With the music on this album, I want to tell different nocturnal stories with the harp, to dance and dream through it.” The fact that the harp is a personal playground for Magdalena Hoffmann opens up space for numerous discoveries.
