New recording of harp variation from Paquita and Don Q

[kellie]

Evergreen Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kevin Galiè, has just recorded the beautiful and very hard to find Girl's Harp Variation from Paquita. It was originally from the ballet "Camargo", but is danced in Paquita, Act II, Scene II, in Anna-Marie Holmes' version.  It is also danced in Don Quixote.  It can be downloaded at cdbaby and is titled: Paquita, Act II, Scene II, 8.4: "Girl's Harp Variation from the Ballet La Camargo"

Here is a link to hear an excerpt or to purchase the download: https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/evergreensymphonyorchest3   It is also streamable from all of the usual online sources.

I'm  not familiar with this orchestra -- where are they based?

[kellie]

They are based in Taipei, Taiwan.  We used them 6 years ago for a recording of Anna-Marie Holmes version of Le Corsaire and it was a huge success.

Thanks!  I live in Washington state -- we are supposedly the "evergreen state," so I'm always curious about other uses of the word.
