Christina Pluhar and L'Arpeggiata

Today's Beautiful Music is a tantalizing tarantella performed by L'Arpeggiata. The early music group is led by Austrian harpist and orchestra conductor Christina Pluhar. They give this Neapolitan tarantella -- a type of folk dance -- such flair! Learn more about the history of the tarantella.

Suzanne Bona is the host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque, a nationally syndicated weekly radio show of Baroque and early music which she originated on WSHU in 1987.
