It is very rare to hear such wonderful recorder music.

This is a fascinating performance by Maurice Steger with the English Concert, presenting the beautiful concertos by Arcangello Corelli.

Definitely a must have.

Ravel: Introduction and allegro

I am not usually a fan of harp music, but this piece is a delight, commissioned by the Erard firm, a long-established manufacturers of harps and pianofortes, this is a miniature concerto for harp, which leads the way accompanied by flute, clarinet and string quartet.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
