For his second recital harpist Sivan Magen performs some of the greatest French masterpieces written for harp at the turn of the last two centuries, by Fauré, Caplet, Tournier, and others. Praised by the press as ‘a magician’ (New York’s WQXR), whose ‘virtuoso playing conjures astonishing color and dynamic range’ (The Daily Telegraph), Sivan Magen is the only Israeli to have ever won the prestigious Int’l Harp Contest in Israel. Sivan Magen’s Britten recital was listed in the New York Times’ ‘Best Recordings of 2012’, whilst his Linn debut ‘Fantasian’ was awarded five stars by BBC Music Magazine.
