Classical freebie: Tasmin Little, The Naked Violin was recorded January 5 in Surrey, England, and now it's up for you to burn:

Tasmin invites you to download or listen to works by J.S.Bach, Paul Patterson and Eugène Ysaÿe.

All downloads are offered - FREE of CHARGE - and you are welcome to burn them to CD for your private use.

At the bottom of this page you may download and print CD Sleeve inserts for front and back.

She introduces some of the pieces in a delightful British accent; you may add these audio introductions to the CD if you like. I wouldn't, only because I like uninterrupted music, and the stories really are only interesting the first time.


On Music: 5 Peculiar Instruments.

At Mental Floss, hear a Didgeridoo, Glass Armonica, Bonang, Tsabouna and Hang -- all at the same time, if you click quickly.
