Inquiries from my Inbox: assindiastignani asks, “There are some videos of you rehearsing, talking about, playing bits and pieces of the Bruch Scottish Fantasy. Do you have anywhere a complete performance of the work with you and orchestra? I'd really love it if you would put it on your channel. Many thanks!!”

Random Musical Thought: What is early music?

Includes four pieces from the 1200s played by Rachel Barton Pine on rebec and David Douglass on rebec or vielle.
