Leonardo Da Vinci's Viola Organista is ALIVE!

Leonardo Da Vinci's Viola Organista is ALIVE! | OperaMania | Scoop.it

Via Marc Rougier
Marc Rougier's curator insight, November 19, 2013 12:50 AM

My mind is blown.


The genius of Da Vinci; everybody knows he is a genius, one of the few universally recognized geniuses; yet, are we ready to discover more from him?


The skill, patience and dertermination of this visionary musician who brought Da Vinci's plan to life 500 hundred years later!


And it works! It does sound both weird and nice. Ok the chosen pieces are not all that great, but Marin Marais sounds perfect. This wacky piece of art needs to be seen and heard.


Scooped in Violins because Viola belongs to the family (granted, this viola organista is a fairly remote cousin).
