Lascia Ch'io Pianga (G​.​F. Handel)

from Live at Kranky Cafe by Karl Sanden

about

My instrumental arrangement for solo accordion of G. F. Handel's soprano aria, Lascia Ch'io Pianga. George Frederic Handel originally composed the piece as an Asian dance for his 1705 opera, "Almira", but it is most well known as part of his 1711 opera, "Rinaldo". On the keys of the accordion it has become more of a stately impassioned speech, rather than the reserved and sensitive lament of the soprano.

Karl Sanden Edmonton, Alberta

Karl Sanden grew up playing piano in the Thompson River Valley. He then moved to Vancouver, BC for 8 years where he taught himself the accordion, mandolin, drums, and harmonica, and self-produced his own recordings.
