Alessandro Fisher sings Hahn's Venezia - a celebration of Venice.

Alessandro Fisher sings Venezia by Reynaldo Hahn, a delectable celebration of Venice.

Alessandro Fisher sings a delectable set of songs inspired by Reynaldo Hahn's love of Venice. Also today, Mahan Esfahani is heard in a recording he made in 2009 when he spent time at the Cobbe Keyboard Collection at Hatchlands Park in Surrey. Here he recorded some French music on a harpsichord, considered by many to be one of the finest harpsichords in the world. It was made in Antwerp in 1636 and enlarged in Paris in 1763.
