  • Music scores to The Begger Boy — 9 variations by M. Cord-to-Krax

    I found the pretty melody of The Begger Boy in John Playford’s The Dancing Master (1651). It is a very short melody and dancers and musicians would have gone crazy if they played it the same way round and round. Here must have come into play variations/improvisations — for sure. So I decided to convert…

  • G.Ph. Telemann: Fantasia No. 10 — A Tempo giusto

    I’ve always loved this first movement of Telemann’s 10th Fantasia for solo flute. I play it very unrytmically because I feel I can tell its story much better this way. I’m a professional freelance recorder player, so if you are enjoying this video — please consider inviting me on a coffee 😉 [button link=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=STDXAZZJAGPLC” color=”black”…

  • Diminutions on Io son ferito ahi lasso — A video from 06-02-15

    G.P. da Palestrina & G.B. Bovicelli — Io son ferito ahi lasso Milena Cord-to-Krax, recorder | Alejandro Casal, harpsichord Last Friday I played these diminutions from Bovicelli’s treatise Regole, passaggi di musica, madrigali et motetti passeggiati (Venice, 1594). Bovicelli himself was a singer, but they work just as fine as an instrumental version, I think.…
