Held by the Ears
Linn CKD 126
The unique and arresting music of Nicola Matteis, alongside colourful settings
of popular melodies of the day, wild extemporisations, and haunting folk melodies
with a Scottish flavour.
...flaming as I have seen him, in a good humour
he hath held the company by the ears...
for more than an hour together,
that there was scarce a whisper in the room
Roger North (1728) on Nicolas Matteis
