Description: Professor David Watkins plays Fire Dance from Petite Suite (by David Watkins) on an Aoyama Amphion recital pedal harp. Recorded at Clive Morley Harps in March 2007. The Amphion provides expanded dynamic range, clear sound articulation and quick response. These three performance features, together with the sleek, modern appearance given by the hexagonal column and minimal decoration, make it a desirable professional instrument. Internationally known harpist, David Watkins, is the Curator of the Clive Morley Collection of Harp Music and Antique Harps. Thanks to David's expertise and ongoing research, the collection is proving to be a valuable resource to anyone studying the harp. David Watkins was harpist of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden and played for the great artists like Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland, Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. He was a founder member of the New Welsh National Opera Orchestra under James Lockhart and has performed his own harp concerto with the London Philharmonic at the Royal Festival Hall.
