Arcangelo Corelli Sonata in C - 3. Grave

Live Concert from MIM (Musical Instrument Museum) of Brussels, Belgium, 27.6.08.
The Israeli Early Music Project plays Corelli's Sonata in C.
The IEMP was founded in 2006 in order to promote the early music (c. 1750 and before) by presenting concerts both to the audience in Israel and abroad. Started as the Jerusalem Baroque Trio, made of mandolin, recorder and viola da gamba, the ensemble was leading the early music department at the Jerusalem Academy for Music and Dance, winning first place at the academy's chamber music competition and performing widely all over Israel several times in prestigious concert programs and radio broadcasts.

During the year 2008 the trio toured London and Oxford, and moved to study at the Brussels Royal Conservatory after receiving a scholarship from the European Union.
The IEMP puts as a goal to itself to perform in Israel's finest festivals and concert venues, as well as in educational concerts in the deep periphery where the early music is completely unknown.

[Lalli1987]

Is that a lute on the right side?

[AlonSariel]

close! Theorbe...(:

[Lalli1987]

I bet the two instruments are not the same. What are the differences?

[AlonSariel]

well, the tuning is different... that's the main thing.

And also, the Archlute looks very similar but it has double strings in the treble...

[jamiecinco2008]

What's that cello type beside the Theorbe?

[Lalli1987]

As I hear it is similar to a baroque lute. Whatever, I like these type of instruments. Is it expensive? And would it be hard for me to learn? I can play the violin.
