Another compilation of works by Antonio Vivaldi, this time his Viola d’amore Concertos. Some real gems here! The viola d’amore has sadly fallen out of favour in recent centuries, but is revered by those who, like myself, love early music on period instruments. 

Handel’s marvellous Dixit Dominus. 

The 8th Green Machine Regiment Band from George Mason University, comprising Stephen Cannistraci, Hunter Swanson, CMSgt (Ret.)

Alana Youssefian explains how to shift on the Baroque violin. Great video. 

An enjoyable performance of Bach’s haunting opening to the Cello Suite No. 5 in C Minor, and the almost-fugue in the second part. Played on the baroque viola (with stunning effects) by Dmitry Hahalin.

This 1850s Broadwood piano is my favorite new toy at church, and its name is Ernst 🤤😍😍 #historicalpiano #historicalkeyboards #broadwood #1850broadwood #periodinstruments #earlymusic #historicalperformance

The viola d'amore, used principally in the 17th and 18th centuries, is a bowed instrument generally with seven bowed strings and seven sympathetic strings, tuned to vibrate in sympathy with the playing strings. The instrument has a peculiar resonance of its own and has a small but interesting modern repertoire. #violadamore #musicinstruments #instamusic #music #17C #18C #periodinstruments #musicians #baroque #renaissance
