As the title suggests, this is a delightful collection of 20 miniatures written and performed by Italian harpist Francesca Romana di Nicola. Composed in 2020 during the pandemic, Francesca takes inspiration from the Basque Country where she now lives, exploring nature, space and time in these delicate and evocative pieces. There is a beautiful rhythmic vitality to the music and Francesca’s crisp touch is inviting, leading the listener into her enchanting sound world without being overly sentimental. Each of the Miniatures is accompanied by a Poetic Reflection (printed in the stylish accompanying booklet) by Juan Kruz Igerabide Sarasola, and I was particularly struck by The Embrace of Time section of the album in which Francesca explores Arabic-inspired improvisations and rhythms which are depicted in words as flying sand from Syria and a Camel travelling through the Tunisian desert.
