If you wanna know the God’s honest truth, this List, for all its Baroquemania, isn’t particularly fond of the “firey” technique-oriented strain of Italian Baroque violin music: it’s really not that different from the Romantic rot of a Paganini. But here it is, anyway.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, I’m not gonna even tell you what El Mil Sabores puts on their Torta Loca sandwich. You have to see it for yourself. Streaming at home, have an Americano: pour 1-1/2 oz. each of Campari and sweet Vermouth into an Old Fashioned glass over ice. Top with soda water. Garnish with an orange wedge.
