Beautiful - Amazing performance and track - love his historical approach and application of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque instruments
Love his YouTube channel
Another devout fan of his YouTube channel, here; I love this stuff - it answers some strange need in my soul I wasn't even aware existed.
Have you watched his (that is, Brandon Acker's) - "History of the Guitar" video on his YouTube channel?
It is around an hour long and is simply superb - educational, instructive and not just interesting, but fascinating, too.
Yes I have - I think?
I watched this version - "The History of Guitar" - on - Rob Scallon's chanel - is that the same?
Sorry, you are absolutely correct; it is Brandon Acker, - and this is the piece - but on Rob Scallon's channel (and I only came to know Rob Scallon through Brandon Acker).
Thanks for linking it: It is a truly wonderful, engaging, delightful, entertaining - and most interesting piece. Well worth watching.
Watched (with utter, entranced, enjoyment) a video:
Ars Musica Chicago, (a concert from August 21, 2020) featuring Brandon Acker playing, successively, pieces with a theorbo, Baroque lute, and Baroque guitar.
Sublime.

Currently enjoying (thoroughly enjoying) watching (and listening to) Felices Cantus Baroque, with "La Folia from the Renaissance through the Baroque Music," recorded on 13 June, 2018.
The incomparable Jordi Savall (complete with his stunning viol da gamba) plays, and the msicians all play with period instruments. Glorious.

Antonio Vivaldi - presto - op 8 RV 315 Summer / Avi Avital
That's epic: a Sabra mandolin player shredding on Vivaldi! I wonder if he's into late period Coltrane at all...

👋 Haven't been here for a while. Slowly working my way through the Mozart Piano Concertos - it is nice to be able to attend live concerts again then listen to the recordings.
Do enjoy.
One of my all time favourites - of all music - is W A Mozart's Piano Concerto No 20 (K466).
In fact, your post was a timely reminder to listen to it once again - something I haven't done for far too long.
Memories of Paris - I was lucky enough to stay at the Hilton (Paris) a few times near where this filmed and use to love running along the river - was little easier to stay motivated make the 10K with all amazing scenery and landmarks

My mother loved The Merry Wives of Windsor - especially, the Overture - (by Franz Lehár), - actually, she had it on a wonderfully solid 33 rpm vinyl record, one that dated from the fifties - and that is what I am listening to, just now.
A few pieces from the soundtrack of The Hours (by Philip Glass).
Morning Passages, The Hours, among others.
