Unlike Harp 1, Harp 2 is played by Julia Reth and features an even larger number of single notes in various playing styles, such as damped, fingernail playing, “Près-de-la-table”, pedal glissandos and bisbigliandos – those whispering tender tremolos played on two strings of the same pitch that create a lovely ethereal effect.
Harp 2 is the ideal complement to Harp 1, reflecting the use of two harps in orchestral music since the mid 19th century.
The Standard Library and the Extended Library of Harp 2 combined contain the same samples and articulations as they appear on the Vienna Instruments Collection Harps. Please find a detailed list of included playing techniques under the menu item Sample Content.
If you have already registered a Vienna Special Editions product that contains Harp 2, you can buy the download instrument at a reduced price.
Your purchase of Harp 2 entitles you to download the free Vienna Instruments software player as well as the Vienna Ensemble mixing and host software.
