In seinem ‚Entwurf-Katalog’ verzeichnete Joseph Haydn ab 1765 sieben Orgelkonzerte. Sein eigener Organistendienst beim Fürsten Esterházy, den er an der Eisenstädter Schlosskirche versah, bot ihm die Möglichkeit, Orgelkonzerte aufzuführen. Gleichwohl blieben seine Orgelkonzerte Nischenrepertoire, denn die Symphonie war mehr und mehr auf dem Vormarsch und Haydn selbst hat bekanntlich ungleich mehr Symphonien als Orgelkonzerte komponiert. In seinem Katalog findet sich zudem auch die Bezeichnung ‚Cembalo’, was die Aufführung dieser Konzerte im weltlichen Rahmen außerhalb der Kirche möglich machte. Renommierte Organist Norbert Düchtel an der Johann-Philipp-Seuffert-Orgel aus dem Jahr 1756 in der Wallfahrtskirche Maria Limbach den Orgelkonzerten Joseph Haydns gewidmet. Das L’arpa festante Barockorchester München stellt den soliden Orchesterapparat.

Time traveler Alvin Youngblood Hart's albums have darted from crusty Delta fingerpicking and hollering to Hendrixian hellfire to crunchy, primal rockin' blues, all with the ring of authority that comes from complete commitment to the music. This time, he's set the wayback machine to the early '30s, using guitars, mandolin, banjo, and a lot of heart to interpret tunes by Son House, Charley Patton, Skip James, Leadbelly, and others. Somehow, the dust of old Mississippi, the state where the Oakland-born musician now resides, seems to have gotten into his blood. Hart sounds like Parchman Farm's newest inmate as he wails and moans through "How Long Before I Can Change My Clothes," plucking notes from a National resonator guitar. Chiming out chords and quick runs on banjo, he makes Odetta's "Chilly Winds" seem like they're carrying the voices of lost ghosts, recounting their lives of misery under Jim Crow's wing. Hart tends to take many of these classics, like Patton's "Tom Rushen Blues" and Leadbelly's "Alberta," at slightly slower tempos, which gives him more time to squeeze gut emotions from his lightly graveled phrases and lets his pluck-and-drone playing work its hypnotic effect. Stark and impressive for the power Hart generates alone, this may be the acoustic blues album of the year.

In 2014, Bruce began a project together with Czech soprano Hana Blažíková to explore the affinity of the cornetto and the human voice. The project was called Breathtaking: A Cornetto and a Voice Entwined. With the program that evolved from that project, Bruce and Hana recorded a CD for the Passacaille label and toured the world performing the program more than forty times in North America, Europe and Australia. In order to make the touring financially viable, they have paired with backup ensembles in Europe, the USA and Australia.
