Marie Martin Marcel, Vicomte de Marin

[mikehopf]

I'm not a big fan of harp music per se, but this Belgian CD contains a beautiful Harp Quintet ( Notturno) together with couple of short trios on Mozart themes. The composer's dates are attractive too: 1769 - 1861.

CD 5050 12 : Harp & Co.

Any information on the composer?

there's a couple of things at IMSLP here -

I had looked him up in several reference books to no avail until I refined my search to " Marin" rather than "Marcel".

Groves gives him excellent reviews.
