A touch of the fantastic pervades this musical evening, where music and literature intertwine with the harp as the storyteller. André Caplet's "Conte fantastique" musically narrates Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death", moving from ominous harp tones to the fateful twelve midnight chimes. E. T. A. Hoffmann marries words and music in his Harp Quintet (1807), breaking classical canons and at times ahead of its time. Jacob Ibert contrasts with his 1944 Trio for Violin, Cello, and Harp, combining French spirit with the dark shadows of war. Markus Brönnimann offers "El canto quiere ser luz" (2020), a mysterious and varied piece filled with the longing for light. Accompanying texts, such as those by E. T. A. Hoffmann, connect these musical pieces to fantastic literature.
