Victoria has numerous chamber and orchestral recordings and has extensive experience in the world of contemporary music. She has also done some work in the period instrument genre. She has received acclamation for her performances and recordings of her transcriptions of the Bach Cello Suites. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b2eb52931d4dfe361158abe/1550988595124-21CYEDOGGW85ZUBOSFNQ/haveharpwilltravel.jpg Home “Victoria Drake, from the U.S., presented a seasoned professional performance, using her understanding of textural and dynamic values to achieve effective structural contrasts. Her repertoire, limited to three choices (Hovhaness Sonata; Mozart Sonata in F, K. 322; and Renie Legende), aimed at in-depth treatment rather than breadth of focus.” – Max Stern • The Jerusalem Post https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b2eb52931d4dfe361158abe/1550988496305-IF2JJYMRRX00KEY12LI7/Chaise+music+photo+medium_large.2x.1512491233.jpg Home - Harpist Adds Beauty to Bach Cello Suites “Bach’s Cello Suites can change character drastically, depending on which character takes up the bow. They change even more drastically when they change instruments. Chords that are implicit on cello become explicit on the harp, which is to say that long, spinning tunes become rolling harmonies. What is spare and tragic on the cello becomes lush and delirious on the harp. Partisans of tragedy and cello might argue that the harp perverts the lofty message of this music, that the harp makes it too beautiful. But there’s no arguing with the beauty heard Monday night. To my ear, Drake revealed an unexpected facet of a multifaceted piece of music.” — TOM STRINI • MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5b2eb52931d4dfe361158abe/1551056763657-P464TAXKLAMBX18PS415/cello+cover+vol+1.jpg Home - Bach Suites Sheet Music All 6 of the Bach Cello Suites transcriptions for harp are available in 2 volumes from Gotham Harp Publishing.
