  • Incomplete list of instrumentally performed Renaissance music recordings

    I’m very interested in instrumentally performed Renaissance music, and I very much enjoy listening to it. But it’s not that easy to find recordings of that musical era without singers.

  • 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.
