Seicento Stravagante:
David Brutti – Cornetto
Nicola Lamon – Harpsichord

We are proud to present this new video of Seicento Stravagante (David Brutti, Nicola Lamon). We performed Sonata IV by Giovanni Battista Fontana, a typical early baroque piece that can be played both on Violin or Cornetto, as it was usual in the early baroque era. It was recorded in a beautiful villa in Vicenza, Villa Valmarana ai Nani, with outstanding frescos by Tiepolo.
