Creepy New Year!

Thought I'd start off the New Year with a bit of a thrill.

Whether or not "The Devil's Trill" actually arose from a dream of the Devil, that was the story Tartini stuck to.  You may not find it devilish in hearing, but I bet it's pretty hard to pull off competently.

Manze does pretty good, in this 1997 release.
