Where to buy Giulia Bolcato’s new cd: Barbara Strozzi Opera Ottava: you hear it in the background of the nails unboxing. And yes, there is a crotchet close to me, because I hit my toe into something and now it’s badly hurting. Nothing is broken but I cannot walk well, and from this the choice of the song in the background: “Ferma il piè” (stop your foot).
Adelheid Snel is the blacksmith that makes the wonderful nails I use for my instruments’ necks. She’s in the Netherlands and made these copies of 17th century nails for me!
Featured video of the week:
There’s this new clip on Sergey Malov’s Instagram account. It’s Swan’s Song played with harp and Violoncello da Spalla, it’s simply beautiful!
