Notes
For his second album for King's College, Cambridge, harpist and alumnus Parker Ramsay performs 'The Street' by acclaimed composer Nico Muhly and librettist Alice Goodman, a dramatic new work for harp solo, narration and plainchant, based on the Fourteen Stations of the Cross.
In its complete form, 'The Street' weaves together the three sonic elements of Parker's harp, Rosie Hilal's narration, and plainchant from the Choir of King's College, Cambridge, for a powerful presentation of the story of Jesus' final days in a uniquely beautiful way. An alternative version of the work for harp solo is also included.
Following the success of Parker Ramsay's first album, J.S. Bach's 'Goldberg Variations' performed on the harp, the album also contains a performance of the Partita No. 2 in C Minor, BWV 826.

Reviews
*** Good Album
Romaric Gergorin – Classica magazine (France) – May 2023
“… Muhly’s score, his first for solo harp, is a substantial, important work that unleashes an astonishing sonic and emotional variety prompted by ingenious word-painting… The full version is innovative in its formal juxtaposition of spoken, sung and instrumental layers and reactions…”
Thomas May – Gramophone magazine – January 2023
“An evocative multilayered work based on the stations of the cross, this generous two-disc release gives us two takes on Nico Muhly’s The Street. The first allows Ramsay’s solo harp to shine, the second features Alice Goodman’s text and haunting choir chant. Sublime storytelling.” *****
Michael Beek – BBC Music magazine (Brief Notes section) – January 2023
“… Commissioned with the soaring acoustic of King’s College, Cambridge in mind, it works both as poetic meditation and as a showcase for the harpist Parker Ramsay, whose initiative it was...Goodman’s text is characteristically bold, modern and arresting.”
Fiona Maddocks – The Guardian – 29 October 2022
