Today's classical playlist

We were speaking of Teri Towe the other day. Catching Teri's show on WKCR right now. Great harpsichord...:music:

EDIT: Teri just wrote on his Facebook page that he is playing, "Mahan Esfahani's new CD of music by the English virginalists and Francesco Cavalli's 'Vespero delle Domeniche'.

This volume seems to be very hard to find, so I had to go for a Presto Classical CD-R, with audio files supplied by the label. Anyway, it sounds great and is a wonderful performance.

This is a wonderful recital of works for 10-string guitar by contemporary Finnish composers. She plays two instruments--one is a "standard" 10 string guitar; the other is the one pictured on the cover--the extra bass strings do not have frets, which allows her to play quarter-tones. Only three pieces use that guitar, and only the Tiensuu makes extensive use of quarter tones. The other pieces are more accessible and quite impressionistic. She's an excellent player, too. I was surprised to find it wasn't an SACD since all of my other Alba discs are SACD, but it sounds very good.
