Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, specializing in Baroque music, playing original instruments, but incorporating a rock-style rhythm section of synthesizer, bass guitar and drums, led by Maestro Gian Piero Reverberi, who is also the principal composer of all of the original Rondo Veneziano pieces. The unusual addition of modern instruments, more suitable for Jazz, combined with Reverberi’s arrangements and original compositions, have resulted in lavish novel versions of classical works over the years. As a rule in their concert tours, the musicians, mostly women, add to the overall Baroque effect wearing Baroque-era attires and coiffures. (by wikipedia)
Two comments from amazon customers:
If you love their music than this is a great holiday addition and you will look forward to playing this every year
The music or the song expresses the true personality, the ego of each of us …… I like different types of music or favorite songs based on how it presents the day ….. This is the “Only my kind” that has no time.
