Ancient Brass Instruments...
While not quite Beethoven this site is too fascinating to be bypassed by music lovers.
A friend recently stumbled across this intriguing web site which features some two hours of two past performances by THE CHESTNUT BRASS COMPANY at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
The company plays not only typical brass quintet music, but also explains and
demonstrates cornettino, lesardin, cornetto, serpent, saxhorn, copernium, quinticlave and opthiclyde (both are keyed bugles), amongst others, all instruments dating back to the Renaissance.
The site can be found at

click on PAST PAST PERFORMANCES FROM THIS ARTIST
Each of the two samples takes about 59 minutes, and uses REAL PLAYER.
You can stop any time, and cut ahead or back by dragging the dot at the
bottom on the bar.
Hope you enjoy this!
