Natalia Mann is an ensemble and orchestral harpist – and a soloist of contemporary classical repertoire. Her performances also include Pacific music, Jazz, and music of Turkish inspiration.
Pasif.ist is her debut on Rattle with her first recording under her name.
An ex-pat Wellingtonian, she now lives and performs in Turkey with her ercussion-maestro husband, Izzet Kizil.
This beautifully recorded and produced album features some of the finest contemporary Turkish musicians – an organic, richly textured, highly musical, deeply satisfying work.
