作為最古老的樂器之一，豎琴誕生距今已有5000年。1810年，法國鋼琴製造家S.埃拉爾將豎琴設計為有47根不同長度的弦、用7個踏板改變弦音高低的樣式，這種能奏出所有調性的現代豎琴一直被沿用至今。
    “沒有聽過豎琴獨奏音樂會的人，大概很難想像豎琴真正的音色、音量以及它的精密。”豎琴獨奏家伊莎貝爾·貝琳如是說。在人們印象裏，豎琴無疑是特殊的，它的音色甜美、浪漫，或許還有些單調；它的位置處於交響樂團的後方，琴聲總是出現在交響樂的背景裏，從來不會是主角，很少有人清楚這種樂器蘊涵著怎樣的力量。
2L高品質錄音藍光音樂碟第三波，豎琴演奏，只有三首曲子，包含5.1LPCM 2.0LPCM DTSHD 5.1音軌，但只需BD25。喜歡弦樂的朋友不妨收藏
Description:

SONaR is a sound signal sent out to create an echo from whatever it may encounter and thus reveal the unknown. I think we all send our symbolic sonars into physical and spiritual space, in a constant search for meaning. At least I do. And my life and music represent both this child's sonars and the universe's ever-unfolding answer. - Magnar Åm

The music is insistent, powerful and existential, bringing out the dramatic qualities of the instrument. In the cadenza the electric harp with all its effects carries on a dialogue with its acoustic counterpart, as if the new and the ancient world were melting together; a Mongolian shepherd's song winds its way between the strings. - Ellen Sejersted Bødtker
