Farina: Capriccio stravagante for Violin, Two Violas, Cello, and Continuo
SOMETHING TO KNOW:
Each short section of this comical and peculiar piece represents a particular instrument or animal.
SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:
Perhaps the strangest episode in this highly imaginative piece is a series of string slides depicting a mewling cat.
Recorded live in Alice Tully Hall on December 10, 2019.
