Dutch cellist Harriet krijgh lives in Vienna, plays in Europe and is the discovery of the season. Through work, that which is natural should never become matter of fact (from Theodora Walchshäusl, Cicero Magazine)

The love of her life has a dark complexion and a mellow voice. “It is a very intimate relationship” says Harriet while glancing at a voluminous cello case. “When we are travelling, it is always with me. Then when I am on stage I can trust him entirely and absolutely let myself go.” A musical love affair with implications: Harriet krijgh is one o the most promising cellists of today.

The KLM Magazine has featured Harriet in its October 2015 issue. See here the article “Young Talent – Stringed Inspiration”.

The Austrian CD Label CAPRICCIO has released Harriet´s fifth CD “RACHMANINOV”. Together with pianist Magda Amara she recorded compositions for Cello and Piano on this CD:

“Recording music is a very intimate, personal process for which I have the utmost respect”, begins Harriet
Krijgh. “Balance between emotion and self-restraint is an essential theme. Especially with such emotionally
charged music like that of Serge Rachmaninov’s, the main consideration is to apply the correct amount of
emotion.” The Sonata for cello and piano, Op.19 and the Piano Concerto No. 2, Op. 18 came after a rather epic phase of depression and compositional resignation. For three years after the failure of his first symphony, Rachmaninov’s creative output seized up, and this eventually needed hypnotherapy treatment to cure the problem. “With Rachmaninov, I sensed an extremely sensitive artist. Such a long creative break must have caused very difficult emotional upheavals. The works that developed immediately after that period of time are therefore so much richer in emotion or atmosphere because of it”, says Harriet Krijgh.
