Episode 76: Yes, It Really Existed! Meet the Shoulder Cello

 

Upcoming Events: June 14 – Bach Six Sonatas for Violin and Keyboard with harpsichordist Paul Cienniwa at the Boston Early Music Festival

 

Inquiries from my Inbox:  Robert asks: “Is the page turner the only ‘on stage’ position in the music industry that it is proper to totally ignore?”

 

Random Musical Thought: Can one claim to have truly heard a piece of music if they’ve never experienced it performed live?

 

Main Topic: A conversation about the violoncello da spalla with luthier and violinist Dmitry Badiarov, including recordings of the instrument played by Badiarov, Sigiswald Kujiken, and the Bach Collegium Japan.
