Duo Barbera

This is the first recording by Duo Barbera, mandolin (period instrument) players Masayo Yokouchi and Shozo Hisamatsu. In the 18th century, there were many different types of mandolins in different regions, and many works were written by unknown composers. However, most of them were written by unknown composers and were forgotten over time. Two mandolinists met with these buried mandolin works.

Now, the sounds of 18th century mandolins are brought back to life here by two mandolins.
