"There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible." -Auberon Waugh

Young prodigy Alisa Sadikova performs "The Fountain", by French-American harpist and composer Marcel Lucien Grandjany.
Wonderful! I wonder how old she is. That piece was very ethereal.
I was attending the University of Arizona in Tucson. There was a harpist in my dorm. I was there the day her harp arrived. She had waited six years for it. She stored it in a small room at the bottom of the stairs. Her practice sessions always drew an audience.
Young Alisa can barely reach all the strings, but she handles that harp beautifully.
ReplyDeleteA prodigy indeed.
