A rarely heard, fascinating solo instrument and an internationally multi-award-winning performer: on the new GENUIN album „From Keys to Strings“, we are presented with an exciting combination! For her prizewinner production from the 2023 ARD Music Competition, harpist Tjasha Gafner has put together an unusual program in which she arranged works for her instrument. These are pieces that Joseph Haydn and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart originally wrote for keyboard – or, in the case of Johann Sebastian Bach, for lute (or a lute-harpsichord?). The clarity and transparency of both transcription and interpretation by this outstanding young harpist provide surprising insights and new listening experiences!
L'Agenda
“The musician responds to Haydn’s humorous interludes just as skillfully as she conveys the emotions in Mozart’s Piano Sonata in C Major: with grace. [...] Tjasha Gafner’s string sounds evoke the piano, presenting the works of Haydn, Mozart, and Bach in a different dimension that is both natural and novel.” Review by Katia Meylan, March 28, 2026

"Gafner plays with such aplomb and grace that one could easily believe these works were written for the harp all along." Review by Alison Young, March 2026
