CD "Una Corda" (2011)
Peeter Süda (1883- 1920) was a composer who dedcated almost his entire talent and oeuvre to one instrument- the organ. Süda´s world is serious, focused, but at the same time open and versatile.

Una Corda is an ensemble with a unique composition, encompassing three multi-string instruments: the harp, kannel and harpsichord. Despite the different historical background and characteristic timbres of the instruments, they are similar in terms of playing by plucking and intimate sound. Una Corda presents original compositions as well as Una Corda’s arrangements of Estonian music from the past century, bringing these valuable classical compositions into new light. 
Una Corda’s first concert took place in 2009. Since then, the ensemble has given many concerts and, in cooperation with Klassikaraadio, Una Corda have recorded music for Estonian public broadcast.  

In January 2012, Una Corda released their first studio album UNA CORDA.

Hi, I'm Jean-Charles.
I'm a music lover, but you probably guessed that if you're here.
I am proud to be a "Ch'ti". For those who don't know, it means I come from Northern France, a land known for its values of human warmth, simplicity, and friendliness. That said, I was "adopted" by the Jura region. It was there, through the Besançon International Competition for Young Conductors, that I discovered classical music from a fascinating angle that deeply left its mark on me.
I love the diversity of music and cultures. I have a special affection for the recorder, opera, piano, zither, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, pan flute, and harmonica.
My goal here, through my reposts, is to offer you a journey through time and space.
In this regard, I want to express my immense respect for Pandora Records. Founded by Al Goldstein, this visionary label chose, after ceasing operations, to release its entire back catalog under an open license. A large part of the tracks I share here comes from this invaluable archive. Thanks to their generosity, we can rediscover these historical interpretations (often on period instruments) that might otherwise have been forgotten.
Thank you all for the talent you share here.
Wishing you great listening and happy discoveries!

“Inglikeeled” is an Estonian kannel ensemble based in the “City of Angels”, Los Angeles. Formed in February of 2019, the group managed to round up a total of 10 traditional Estonian kannels, many donated by local Estonians as well as several from New York, Portland and abroad. With the goal of bringing Estonian culture a little closer to the far away land of southern California, performers are 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation expatriate Estonians aged 17 to 87, including mothers and grandmothers, students and professors, specialists in the fields of medicine, education, real estate, engineering, finance and information technology. 

Inglikeeled on Los Angelese eestlaste kandlegrupp, mis sündis Inglite linnas Los Angleses 2019 a. veebruaris, pannes helisema eestlaste seas nii armastatud instrumendid - kandled. Leidsime kohalikest kodudest ning New Yorgi ja Portlandi ümbruse valiseestlastelt kokku 10 kannelt. Nii toome Inglikeelte helinal endale Eestimaad veidi lähemale. Meie Inglid on I, II, III pōlvkonna väliseestlased vanuses 17 kuni 87, emad ja vanaemad, ōpilased ja professorid, spetsialistid meditsiini, hariduse, kinnisvara, inseneri, finantsi ja infotehnoloogia valdkonnast.
