Cristoforo Malvezzi : 2 Intermezzi per la Pellegrina
played by Ensemble Gabriele Leone (Eric Depret & Didier Le Roux, mandolins - Jean-Paul Bazin, mandola - Guy Le Roux, guitar)
at Logrono (Spain), August 2003
These 2 Intermezzi are the first known pieces where french mandore, an ancestor of the modern mandolin, was used.
La Pellegrina was composed for the wedding of Ferdinando di Medici with Christine de Lorraine (1589) who probably introduced this instrument into Italy, later giving the mandolino
