I just want to add that it’s so heartening to see and hear these young musicians so evidently enjoy their music making together. It will ensure that good music will continue being appreciated and performed well into the future. Bravo and long may you flourish. Our little blue planet so much needs excellence and talent such as yours
A superb performance by all the musicians here. The expressive, quite unique sound of the Claviorganum is very special. Thank you I really enjoyed it. Subscribed immediately in the hope hearing more of your wonderful music
A real treat to come across this, thank you so much for a wonderful performance! I had never heard of a claviorganum before, and it is marvellous, what a great idea combining the two instruments, it adds so much colour and interest to the sound.
Händel would have been much pleased with this performance by this group of talented youngsters! About the harpsichordist he might have stated with a strong and heavy German accent: "Zat Paganini iz ze devil himzelf at ze harpsichord!"
John Crang made a claviorgan in England in 1745. Quite possible that Handel played it. It's now in the Edinburgh collection. Very refreshing performance!
That’s why we used a claviorganum for this project, such a joy (except for tuning)! :) We are gonna play in Edinburgh on the 23th of November, but without claviorganum and with other repertoire.
Great fun, and v. Clever … please provide evidence that the guitar was commonly used as a continuo instrument … what next, the semi-ubiquitous frame-drum …?
