Description
Summary:Performed by the musical ensemble Lux Musica, under the direction of Linda Burman-Hall, the recording represents one of a number of crosscultural musical performances made by this group, bringing traditional and non-traditional performers together to produce a hybrid selection of musical styles with a significant bias towards early music. Referencing extant sources in Romanian and Turkish anthologies, the recording shows the significance of Cantemir's musical legacy as a theorist and as a composer, providing examples both of his instrumental improvisations and instrumental compositions drawn from his famous treatise, Edvâr.
