This video is an extract of the Concert performed by Krishnasol Jimenez that day. This Suite in G major (1682) is not included in the books published by Robert de Visèe but it is written in a manuscript recently discovered.

I knew of Antonio Stradivarius, but not the guitar-maker. Although there was an Antonio Stradivarius guitar on 2nd link. Were they related, I wonder? I don't have a copy of the old Cremona phone book, so...

Still it was great to hear the early music played with such sensitivity.

Interestingly, modern day violin makers have yet to figure out the varnish the Stradivarius used. It was a secret that Antonio probably took to his grave.

yeah, absolutely wonderful Bob, I posted something on this project on one of the forums somewhere.
I love the sound of these instruments (all things considered).

Ah here
