MASUMI NAGASAWA
„A Correct But Not Beautiful Performance“: on Fantasie op. 35 by L. Spohr
Spohr’s Fantasie is often required in harp competitions and auditions. However, until recently, harpists have yet to study this historically informed stylistic approach to performance in depth. This presentation offers a stylistic performance of the piece by delving into the lost harp practices from the 18th and 19th centuries. It also accepts the challenge of animating the composition by performing beyond the notation, offering the listeners an experience close to the composer’s expectations.
Masumi Nagasawa (Dr, PhD) is a versatile harpist and a researcher. She studied harp with Phia Berghout in the Netherlands. She was also awarded the Prix d’ Excellence (NL) & the Muramatsu Music Prize Grand Prix (JP). Masumi Nagasawa regularly performs at international Festivals, such as the Kuhmo International Chamber Music Festival, the Salzburg Music Festival, the Geneva Music Festival & the Ittinger Pfingstkonzerte. Besides her broad harp repertoire of classical and modern music, Masumi Nagasawa is an expert on 18th—and 19th-century harp practice, giving master classes in conservatories and universities worldwide. She received her PhD from the University of Leeds, England, in 2018 under the guidance of Prof. Clive Brown. More than 20 albums have been released on labels such as Toshiba EMI Japan, Etcetera, Channel Classics, Globe, Ars and recently by BIS.
