Elizabeth-Jane Baldry is the world's only silent movie harpist providing accompaniment to silent film screenings in the manner of the old silent movie pianists.
"For anyone who mistakenly associated the harp with Palm Court trios or the signature-tune to “Mrs. Dale’s Diary”, imagining it capable only of brittle versions of light classics or relentlessly glutinous arpeggia, this performance was an education. Elizabeth-Jane conjured 95-minutes of riveting musical commentary on the story, with sounds ranging from startling metallic eruptions at moments of shock plot developments, through foot-tapping jazz-age tunes in the dance-hall sequence, to voluptuous pastoral romances and affecting melodies drawing us into deeper empathy with the characters’ emotional troubles." - Wiveliscombe Silent Film Festival |
