DOR-90290 Cover

The music in this recording is some of the most dramatic, imaginative and expressive in the vast compendium of instrumental literature from the 16th - 18th centuries.   We draw our program from both the folk and the art repertoires, choosing a piece primarily for the vitality and individuality of its melody.   . . .
