Ginastera's choice of concerto instruments was mainly conventional; he wrote one concerto for violin and two each for piano and cello. Yet the fact that he also produced a concerto for harp shouldn't seem uncharacteristic; it can convincingly be considered a close relative of the guitar, and the guitar was essential to the Argentine folk music that so fascinated Ginastera. He wrote his Harp Concerto during a period when he was consolidating folk influences into a more rugged contemporary language; earlier, he had used folklore more directly, and later he would give it all up in favor of serialism and other advanced techniques.Tracks:
The Harp Concerto's first movement opens percussively and along with the third movement, are both inspired by the Argentine malambo, a 6/8 dance contest for gauchos that involves much stamping of heels. Argentina's tango embraces the eroticism of both sexes, but the rural malambo is purely virile; this is rather ironic in the context of this concerto, given that the harp is played by more women than men. The opening "Allegro giusto" is strongly rhythmic and viscerally exciting, although it does include as its second subject, material that is more mysterious and slightly antique-sounding, but still with a throbbing undercurrent. The slow second movement, "Molto moderato," keeps the harp in the foreground and employs the orchestra mainly for discrete support. The numinous, nocturnal ambience evokes Bartók, particularly with its use of celesta and a brief canonic passage for strings. A long solo cadenza (Liberamente capriccioso) opens the final movement. It surges and hesitates, incorporating special effects with pedals, fingernails, and harmonics without ever falling in line with the avant-garde (unlike Ginastera's Violin Concerto of the following decade). The inevitable harp glissandi are interrupted by a slap from the orchestra, which brings on another malambo (Vivace). The rhythmic pressure never lets up, not even when the orchestra is reduced to the strings' thumping under the wood of their bows. It all builds to a dissonant, exceptionally dramatic conclusion.
