heard on the radio

A couple of interesting music stories in the news this week:

::  Recreating the harpsichord/viola , a hybrid instrument of Leonardo DaVinci’s design from 1488. (Yes, but now what will we do with all the jokes for SOLO viola?)

::  And, from On Point with Tom Ashbrook, a discussion with author Eric Siblin about the enduring mystery and allure of Bach’s Cello Suites.
