Olga Erdeli

Born in 1927, Olga Erdeli is among the most respected harpists in Russia. She graduated from the Moscow Conservatory, where she studied with her aunt, Ksenia Erdeli - herself a famous harpist. A key moment in her career came in 1946, when she became a soloist with the Great Symphony Orchestra of the All-Soviet Union Radio and TV; in 1949, she began to give solo recitals and to perform in various chamber ensembles. In the same year, she won First Prize at the Second International Youth Festival (Russia). Since then she has performed in the finest halls in Russia, and toured extensively abroad.

Ms. Erdeli is a People Artist of Russia, and since 1953 a highly esteemed professor at the Moscow Conservatory. She has had the great pleasure of teaching harp at the Conservatory to both her daughter Tatyana and her granddaughter Ksenia.

As these recordings demonstrate, Ms. Erdeli possesses a brilliant technique, and an outstanding knowledge of the potential of the harp - having authored arrangements for harp of works by Rodrigo, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Khachaturian, and others.
