2009 Baroque Concerts - our 7 piece ensemble Achille Bocus, Nicola Bocus, Sarah Bell, Tony Kaye (Mandolins); Laurien Jones (Mandola); Howard Kadis (Archlute and Guitar); Javier Trujillo Jurado (Guitar)
Our 2009 repertoire was a fascinating series of traditional Baroque pieces adapted from the bowed to plucked strings. It featured Vivaldi's famous concerto for four violins in Bm played on mandolins, with Bach's Am violin concerto, Bach's A Major Harpsichord concerto, and concerti by Baroque mandolin composers: Guiliani, and more. We have since started to record some of this for a new CD. |
