Joel von Lerber

New Album "Légende" out since May 27th 2022

"Like a mythical harp-playing bard, Joel von Lerber too is a teller of legends. But such is the Berlin-based Swiss harpist’s sweeping command of colour and line that he has no need for words. The music, almost all of which takes its inspiration from tales or poems, says it all. [..]

But the most shamelessly expressive playing comes right at the beginning, with Fauré’s exquisite Une châtelaine en sa tour, after a poem by Verlaine. Whether striking près de la table or aiming for a juicier sound, whether spinning a silken melody or exhaling glissandos and feathery figurations, von Lerber here presents us with an irresistibly gentle invitation to enter a magical world."

Gramophone (UK), William Yeoman, August 2022

"Und wer sich die brandneue CD  im wahrsten Sinn des Wortes reinzieht, der erlebt Freude pur jenseits von Gezirpe und Gesäusele. Da ist schöne und lebendige und ingelligent zusammengestellte Musik aktiv." -

Die Neue MusikZeitung, Wolf Loeckle, Juni 2022
