Thank you very much for sharing !

You are very welcome. So glad you like it.

I got into early Italian lute after I fell in love with Vivaldi, who was from Venice. I worked backwards from him to this music.

Give this a listen:

Vivaldi, properly performed, is unmatched. Most recordings of his work are truly awful. Even great violinists and conductors simply got it terribly and tragically wrong — in tempo, spirit and tone. Rachel Podger OWNS it, and to hear her play and direct Vivaldi was one of the great music revelations of my life.
