The year 2017 is celebrated worldwide as a "Telemann year", marking 250 years to the master's passing. For this album, I adapted the Crème de la Crème out of almost every possible instrumental genre which Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) had a go at: a French Suite, an Italian Concerto, a Chamber Partita and some Solo Fantasies.
The album also includes selected works by C.P.E. Bach (Hamburger Sonata) & J.F. Fasch (Lute Concerto) among others. The cover pays tribute to Telmann's great love to flowers and gardens!

Concerto Foscari, Alon Sariel - lute, baroque guitar and direction
by Yehezkel Braun (1922-2014)
Yehezkel Braun is one of Israel's most beloved and appreciated composers of all times. He was a dear friend and in several occasions I had the privilege of playing for him, especially his sonata for mandolin and guitar, which has become an integral part of my Repertoire.
Paisiello in Vienna (Brilliant Classics)

In 2016 we would like to celebrate 200 years for the death of one of the most popular composers of his time, Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816).
Just a couple of centuries ago, so many of his contemporaries were hunted by one of his greatest hits - the duet "Nel cor piu non mi sento".
This album presents works for mandolin/guitar by Hummel and Beethoven, decorated by original variations over Paisiello's aria by Wanhal, Giuliani, Bortolazzi and more.

Sources
All the way from Inventions by Bach to Duets by Bartok. An album which we dedicated to our former mandolin teachers in Israel, who in a slightly bizzare way, none of them were actually mandolin players.
The album is featuring music which was composed with a touch of a pedagogical aspect, arranged here for two mandolins or for mandolin & mandola. With Yaki Reuven – mandolin
Vivaldolino
The mandolin is very much recognized with Antonio Vivaldi and the reason for that are the wonderful concerti that he composed for the instrument.
On this album, I recorded his concerto for two mandolins in G Major, RV 532. With Yaki Reuven & Ensemble Barrocade
Israeli Music for Harpsichord
(Albany Records)
This album includes the world's first commercial recording of “Sonata a tre” by Paul Ben Haim, for mandolin, guitar and harpsichord. With Marina Minkin at the harpsichord and Hanan Feinstein on the guitar
