Apologies for the intermittent postings as of late. To make up for it, here are some lovely performances of classical masterworks, brought to you by the magic of the internet. – T.H.

Hey look! An electric harp performance by someone other than Deborah Henson-Conant or those creepy blond twins. If you’re not a fan of atmospheric electronica, don’t worry – some nice tight Celtic playing kicks in pretty quickly after the introduction. You can find out more about Duo Descofar via their website; they’re also on Facebook. (Main Vimeo channel here.)
