The mandolin will always be an instrument of great beauty and romance. Its melodic timbre conjures up images from gondolas in Naples to candlelight and love balads.
Here on “At Karsten’s”, Roger takes center stage with his mandolin. Listen as the mandolin shares the spotlight with grand piano, acoustic guitar, and accordion.
This cross-section of classic beautiful melodies from many origins and countries around the globe including;Â Spain, Italy, Greece, Russia, Ireland, and the Americas!
There are also unforgettable movie themes such as “More” from Mando Cane, “Laura’s Theme” from Dr. Zhivago, “Speak Softly Love” from “The Godfather, and the theme to “Never on Sunday”.
It’s rare to find a player with Roger’s virtuosity, and even harder to find great melodies selections like these being recorded today! … And it is now available for purchase here
