Jean-Philippe Rameau (1683-1764)

We did Jean-Philip Rameau's piece called Le Tambourin. My great musician friend Janos Vazsonyi who is the best baroque saxophonist in Hungary played an exellent improvisation at the end of the piece. Its a meditation impro but still in baroque style.

Basically I dont play French baroque music that much. I played only the chordes on my guitar and Eva played the bass. I think it was a good and practical idea playing classical guitar duo with an alto saxophone. One classical guitar was not enough to accompany the sax that's why I decided to do it with a guitar duo. And of course it was easier to me and could better enjoy Mr. Vazsonyi's saxophone playing...

We did a mysterious atmosphere in the church with candles and smoke.
