Anner Bylsma just died.

He made two recordings of Bach's cello suites.

One in 1979:

And another in 1992, where he plays a Stradivarius and a piccolo cello:

I often listen to that. :|

Ah, it's good to know increasing age has had no effect on your gentle nature, Doc. :)

Let's get controversial...

Four Seasons, arch-classical but Vivaldi never gets old. Here we can compare violinists:

↑ It's interesting that he uses typical Renaissance lute techniques: pinky on the table and fast notes played thumb-index. Here's a slow example:

Musically the main difference I see is that Renaissance music is largely based on vocal music, so there are "voices" to conduct/bring out when you play a piece.

The baroque lute uses a different right hand technique (apart from the pinky which stays on the table) and what a guitarist today would call "open tuning". Good example here at 8:23 (but the whole interview is worth a peek):

Holy cow, had forgotten how fast Spaniards speak (not the case for Mexicans, I've been told). Anyway, she starts playing at 4:17.

Hola senorita!

I wondered halfway through the video if she would ever stop chatting and play, but it was worth the wait. :D

I also don't mind just listening to her cheerfully prattling on in Spanish.

That's because Spanish is a foreign language for Mexicans. Just as English is for Americans.

Crappy video, but astonishing performance:

This isn't music but somehow it belongs here.

Google youtube kept recommending this guy to me. It was really pissing me off a bit: I have never expressed interest in this. I finally gave in, watched, and then understood. Google is smarter than you might think.

Someone should find a way to put this guy into a scented candle.
