Harp Column Review

The Harp Column Magazine gave Beau Soir, my recent recording with cellist Dariusz Skoraczewski a glowing review in their May/June 2020 issue. 

"Harpist Jacqueline Pollauf plays with a breathier and darker sound, drawing on her instrument’s richness to balance the dense beauty of cellist Dariusz Skoraczewski in their lovingly recorded Beau Soir. Primarily consisting of familiar works of the fin de siècle France, most notable in this handsome disc is Arvo Pärt’s Fratres allowing the cello to put in motion a hypnotizing motif. The two then explore simple variations, again seeming to luxuriate in a duskier soundworld. Vaughn Williams Six Studies in English Folk Music places the duo in their sweet spot of expressiveness as well as their ability to evoke a time long gone by. Pair this one with Spiegel im Spiegel and you have utter perfection."
