Before The Revolution: the late 1920s
I have a particular fondness for the music of the late 1920s. This is the music I listen to most when I'm at home. Savour the tenderness of very first recordings of Fresedo and Di Sarli, the invention of De Caro, the sweetness of Canaro, the melancholy of Bianco - Bachicha.
