The David Nadien CD Collection on Cembal d'amour

Cembal d’amour mourns the passing of David Nadien-one of the very great violinists in recorded history.
He possessed an immaculate technical control and the most beautiful soulful and colorful tone.
He was also superbly intelligent and had a great sense of humor.
A giant in music and a good friend he will be greatly missed.
