Are you ready for GENUS 2006?

I wonder how the audience is going to tahan more than 15 min of Handel... I have a string orchestra recording which is 17 min already...

It's always quite a tussle between audience's and player's taste. The concert grosso isn't lousy music but it may not be as palatable to general public, especially if someone's coming to a guitar concert thinking "La cumparsita", "Besame Mucho", "Sevilla" and the sorts. Well, I guess it's really up to the music groups to bring more awareness to the crowd then. Heh heh...

Matters are made less encouraging with an additional dosage of Capriol Suite from Peter Warlock. That's more than 10 min as well. Hmmm, perhaps Guitaresque should play Vivaldi RV 93 then? Hello Telemann?

Baroque fiesta!

RV93 is "pop" music.

We should replay Mozart S.40. that piece can be the limit break for the poor audience!!

Baroque!!! You can play something by Bach. We went for the organ recital today and the first half was 1h of Bach, Bach and Bach. Not surprisingly, many seats were left vacant after the interval...
