One of the most beautiful things I have heard in a long time. This woman and this channel are treasures!

I had to stop what I was doing when the cascade of arpeggios kicked in at minute 3:54. The environment that creates with the modal changes she goes through is magical. While the arpeggios elevates you to a sacred realm, the basso ostinato grounds you to the earth. And suddenly a melody appears and acts as a bridge between both realities. Absolutely beautiful

Kapsberger, Toccata arpeggiata, this piece is from a different world. Typically performed on a theorbo.

What a poetic, but concrete description of what this musician seems to achieve. Well said!

Amazing, congrats! 👏👏

[@dbadagna]

Outstanding--and it seems that she is using a historically informed tuning similar to quarter-comma meantone.

Kui kaunis Anna-Liisa! Olen ka õppinud kannelt Tallinna Laste Muusika koolis 5 aastat. Kahjuks läksid meie teed kandlega lahku. Kuulates teid tuleb igatsus peale. Mäletan oma valusaid sõrmeotsi:)

[@dbadagna]

Totally random question: can anyone identify the stone or material in her jewelry? The way it catches the light is stunning.

[@juliomateus714]

Several people have politely asked for the title of the Encore. I can find NO answer. So I'll ask again: please, could we know the title and composer of the Encore?

[@sakuntalabasu1493]

The encore was really fabulous. Could someone enlighten me as to what work it was?

[@mideuropeearlymusicfestiva3585]

[@juliomateus714]

@@mideuropeearlymusicfestiva3585 Why don't you spell it out? you say: Repertoire is below (description) there's no mention of the Encore in it. I'm beginning to think that you DON'T know it.

What is the instrument?

[@tomazlm_]

It's a kannel

[@dbadagna]

From the website of Kristi Mühling: ====== The chromatic kannel is a type of kannel developed in the 1950s by the Estonian instrument builder Väino Maala (1914-1987). Due to its unlimited chromatic possibilities, this instrument type is used in several different music styles. The kannel is an ancient Estonian national instrument with a history spanning over two millennia. The archaic kannel was an instrument with 6-7 strings that was carved from a single piece of wood; with time, the number of strings grew and the instrument became larger. In the 19th and 20th centuries, diatonic kannels of various shapes and sizes were played across villages. Gradually, however, the need for a kannel that could also be played in different keys emerged. In the first half of the 20th century, several attempts were made to construct a chromatic kannel, but mostly these remained mere experiments and failed to gain larger popularity among instrument players. In 1952, an instrument builder from Valga County, Väino Maala, crafted the contemporary chromatic kannel. The birth of this instrument type was also facilitated by the initiation of kannel studies in Estonian music schools in the 1950s, which created the need for an efficient kannel type. Eik Toivi (1903-1993), a teacher from the Tallinn Music School, advised Väino Maala in the elaboration process of the chromatic kannel. His new instrument was embraced by kannel players and it was taken into use in Estonian music schools. Today, chromatic kannel is taught in several music schools across Estonia and, since 2002, as a specialty at the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre in Tallinn. The chromatic kannel has a separate string for each chromatic pitch. This enables the usage of all pitches in all keys without limitations, similar to the piano. The number of strings is mostly 46 (range: c--a3) or 50 (range: G-sharp-a3). The chromatic kannel is a cross-strung instrument. On one side, the set of strings with diatonic pitches is 1.5 cm higher than the pentatonic pitches, and vice versa on the other side of the instrument. In the middle of the instrument the strings are on the same level. This is the area that is typically used to play the instrument.
