    When did I last hear a mandolin concerto? Yesterday, when I listened to a cd of Vivaldi concertos.

    Definition of a gentleman…one who knows how to play the (delete as per) mandolin, banjo, bagpipes but choses not to do it in public.
    The poor chap seems to be like Larry Adler-startlingly talented on something with very limited appeal.

    Chris Thile wrote a terrific mandolin concerto about a decade ago. Audience video on YouTube of one of its rare performances.

    But this is a very nice, folky piece, with Middle-Eastern references. It’s a relief that sometimes also something nice comes from that region.

    A few years ago, live at London’s St James’s Piccadilly. A terrific work by Israeli composer, Gilad Hochman. https://youtu.be/hJRwfSCAXH8
