This recording presents an unusual combination of instruments: the harp and the piano. The music dates from the first half of the 19th century, when the harp enjoyed a period of great popularity as a solo instrument, especially in Naples, one of the capitals of the musical world, where the 4 composers on this recording were active: Francesco Pollini, Benedetto Negri, Lauro Rossi and Saverio Mercadante.

The music is highly entertaining, charming, brilliant and full of the enchanting melodies so typical of the Golden Period of Napolitan musical life. Played by pianist Michele Gioiosa and harpist Anna Pasetti, a successful soloist and musicologist, active in the research for unknown music for her instrument.
