    Aquavella, people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. If I remember correctly a thread of yours from a few months ago was locked by the moderators on the grounds that you were using it to express your political views. (I believe it was about a musician friend of yours that was having trouble entering the country).

    Yes, Ms. Stevens was your teacher, yes, she is an excellent musician, and yes, you apparently have great respect for her. However, your mock outrage (..."how dare you"...) is both disingenuous and boorish.

    Normally, when reading a post like yours, I would just roll my eyes and move on. However, I couldn't let this go. You may wish to respond, but I am not interested in engaging in a tit-a-tat, so don't expect any counter responses from me. I have said my piece. I would rather see the thread proceed--back on topic--as quickly as possible.

    Thumbs down to off-topic grammar lessons on this forum. And thumbs up to Acquavella for speaking up. Now back to posting relevant comments on the last relevant post - nice videos, el cro! I especially liked the Bach Air the orchestra performed. Beautiful music!

    Good morning friends,

    On a rainy day like it is over here, I thought a nice video with music of Raffaele Calace (1863-1934) would make a good start. Therefore I have uploaded Calace's Fantasia Poetica Op. 56 for mandolin and piano performed by the Dutch Mandolin and Piano Duo Sebastiaan de Grebber & Eva van den Dool.

    The video shown here was filmed during a concert performance that took place in the Concert Hall of the Centre for the Arts - De Muzerie - in Zwolle on Saterday July 5th, 2008. Raffaele Calace's Fantasia Poetica is one of many of his beautiful compositions for the modern mandolin and grand piano.

    Here is the link to visit YouTube:

    Enjoy and greetings from the Netherlands,

    Alex

    My teacher arrange Gaspar Sanz' Canarios for octave mandolin and I've recorded it here. I know its not perfect but its the best I can do at the moment. I came to mandolin rather late in life and seem to lack digital dexterity despite endless hours of practice!

    i know this may appear to be a "look at me!" ploy but i'm interested to know if this corner of the cafe considers the sound of the charango as something comparable to the 5c. "lombardo" mandolino:

    http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SJe1bjlx2LI

    ... there's another video of the same song, done with mandolin. which (may i humbly ask) do you consider to be more "early" in sound?

    grazie - bill

    Well, you're making the mando sound rather early by the tuning and the strumming, so I'm not sure which one sounds earlier, but on the whole I'd go for the charango. They're both very lively performances with lots of energy and verve. Most enjoyable!

    I'm not entirely sure what you're after with this inquiry, Bill. Scale lengths are rather substantially different. Historic standard tunings are rather different. Traditional playing techniques are very, very different (I can't think of any historic 4th-tuned mandolin music to depend upon strums). Single notes can sound kinda similar. Why not listen to some mandolino recordings of baroque-era music and decide for yourself how similar the timbres are.

    Nobody knows what an "early" musical sound actually sounds like. That said, I can imagine charango is more similar in sound to what 14th-c. instruments might have sounded like simply because there wasn't anything like the high-tension steel of modern mandolins in use in the 14th-c. ...But I don't think there's anything wrong with simply enjoying the sound of both or either without the pretext of what might sound "more early."

    thanks to you both. my thought is to make a modern instrument sound ancient, merely as an option - not to deceive anyone into thinking i'm playing a replica instrument.

    Of course. In fact, at the opera house (a.k.a. Big House), ANYthing sung or played before noon is considered "early music".

    I, for one, have enjoyed ALL the audio/video clips posted here, although (or because?) I can't tell a terzino from an armadillo. Yes, folks, there IS bliss in ignorance!

    ahhhh victor ... i'd say that of all the opportunities provided by internet - youtube, et al. - the blunderbuss approach suits me best ... you simply can't get enough of an extraordinarily good thing.

    i welcome good music - even if (shudder) it's courtesy of the carcass of a poor "wee crawley beastie" - but far and away, a good mandolin and a willing player trumps all.

    I have never perceived any "deception" in any of your worthy musical explorations, Bill. I just don't think an "ancient" sound is a remotely knowable thing or worthwhile pursuit, in spite of my fandom of HIP. Pursue a sound for no better reason than your like of it.

    Cafe 1930 by Astor Piazzolla featuring me and Bridget from last weekend's recital. More videos to come, including perhaps some with Annika Luckebergfeld (if she's ok with it).

    Absolutely beautiful playing, Joe!

    Joe may not have mentioned that he has videos (featuring the same harpist, Ms. Kibbey) of the trio for guitar, mandolin and harp by Hanz Werner Henze. The first movement is here:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmXmHsOr2Ik

    Joe, is the Henze available on CD? For my money your interpretation is superior to the version recorded by guitarist David Starobin and company on the New Music for Guitar series.

    Thanks for the kind words, Buzz! The Henze and the Carter are my two favorite chamber works featuring mandolin, and both are a joy to play. We have discussed recording the Henze along with the Petrassi and the Nicolau trios, but nothing came of it and probably wouldn't for a while. I'm certainly in favor of it, but getting the three of us together for a lengthy rehearsal/recording period would be tough, we'd have to have record company backing.

    Now this is a mandolin orchestra! It would be great if our orchestras could get to this size here in America. Beautiful music and so expressive.

    We've enabled the ability to embed these videos directly into forum pages now if you wish. Haven't tested this but assume this will not work with the UK version as the coding requires it be static to one address, hence the default. But there are ways and I can provide the manual code for that if anyone is interested.

    Here's how

    Thanks Scott, FANTASTIC!


    Hello All,

    I have posted a new video of HET CONSORT. This time we perform 'The Song of the Japanese Autumn' composed by Yasuo Kuwahara.


    Here is the 1st Part of Kuwahara's composition:





    And here is the 2nd Part inwhich you hear Sebastiaan de Grebber, our concert master, play his cadenza to Kuwahara's Japanese Autum:





    Hope you enjoy it!

    Cheers to you also on behalf of the Consort members,

    Alex
