Sambuca - the video!

I've just received a video of the concert that my duo Sambuca gave last year at the Orpheus Centre in Godstone. Hurrah! There's seven tracks, so there are seven separate video screens below. (It's possible to play all seven at once, but I recommend watching them separately).


Jolly Sicilian tunes on ocarina and guitar.


The Italian Ground - a gentle 18th century number on treble recorder and baroque guitar.


Handel's Sonata in F op 1 no 11, Siciliana and Allegro - still on treble recorder and baroque guitar.


Macedonian tunes played on frula and guitar. "Life in Macedonia has always been absolutely miserable but they have wonderful music there" - see if you agree.


Something very different now - the Toccata Arpeggiata by Kapsperger, published in 1604 and played by me on the theorbo.


...which leads nicely into the sultry tango Café 1930 by Astor Piazzolla, for flute and guitar.


And finally two Bulgarian tunes, one slow and one fast. The guest percussionists are Michael Murray and Yuzuru Yamashiro, otherwise known as the two other members of the Chuckerbutty Ocarina Quartet.
