Fragments – music for flute and harp by The Juniper Project
We present The Juniper Project in their debut duo recording in the format of a concert recital with a variety of Romantic and modern works from Debussy to Lutosƚawski. The album title is named for the Lutosƚawski but also to represent the inclusion of highlight movements from works by Marson and Rutter.
Greek flutist Anna Rosa Mari is a vibrant performer who has appeared around the world as a soloist, has been principal flute with the Chamber Orchestra of the Greek National Opera and has appeared with the Halle, BBC Philharmonic and many other leading orchestras.
Eira Lynn Jones is one of the UK’s leading harpists with a wide range of activities including concertising, recording and teaching. A regular freelancer with most top UK orchestras, previously a member of the Manhattan Contemporary Music Ensemble, New York, she is currently also head of Harp at the Royal Northern College of Music.

” —Lisa Nelsen
“A fragrant mix of the well-known and the more obscure. The performance standard here is remarkable, the recording perfectly judged. Beautifully performed, this is a most sophisticated program.
” —Colin Clarke
“Both players have a lush sound that is captured beautifully. This program is easy listening in the least pejorative sense.
” —Todd Gorman
“A very palatable set of duets for flute and harp. The tone and control of the flute is particularly commendable, and the repertoire is well considered.
” —Freda Parr
“All of the music is attractive and tuneful, some of it could be categorised as ‘easy listening’ but there are one or two fascinating ‘off the beaten track’ pieces too. Sensitively played… delightful performance.
” —Alan Cooper
“Sheer pleasure… ravishing sound … quite gorgeous. The playing is superb. The sound recording is ideal, and the CD liner notes always helpful. All in all, this is a great CD: It explores many delightful byways of music that surely deserve to be discovered.
