Evangelina Mascardi Plays London Suite IV by Weiss

Evangelina Mascardi performs London Suite IV in G major by Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1686–1750) on Baroque lute in Orte, Italy. This comes via Mascardi’s You Tube channel. I adore Weiss and Mascardi’s performance is wonderfully elegant. The combination of a strong rhythmic character and flowing galant lines along with tasteful ornaments is pure charm.
