Another excellent performance, James! Although I would have liked to have *seen* the recorders ;) Especially a sub-bass :)

@MoscowMaestro Thanks, I might not do this so much in the future. People seem to like the performance videos more.

@JamesHowardYoung It's a delicate balance, of course. Especially on YouTube there are a bazillion videos which have a muzak background track... yours have the unique quality of being not only specially created live performances, but featuring *you* on all the instruments ;)) And I play the recorder myself, so some "huge recorder fetish pics" would appeal :))

@MoscowMaestro Thanks again for your kind words. I have a Gabrieli video up with the recorders filmed. Have you seen that?

Very fine, although I find the recording a bit dry.

@JamesHowardYoung Oh yes, one of my faves :)) A neat piece of work indeed. I have to congratulate you on the elegant and thought-out articulation in the Gabrieli - it's the difference between "notes" and "music" :)) And in the Massaino too, of course :) A real pleasure to listen to!
