Description

Beverly Bellows performs on the harp in a live concert from the KPFA studios on March 5, 1973. Works heard include a number of compositions by Lou Harrison and three pieces for harp by 16th and 17th century Spanish masters. Joining Bellows on some performances are Charles Amirkhanian and Amy Radner on percussion, and Charles’ wife Carol Law can be heard making a few comments.

Note: The first couple of minutes of this recording is in one channel only, and the quality is less than pristine, but it soon improves.
