Harpsichordist Jane Chapman explores 'The Oriental Miscellany', William Hamilton Bird's 1789 collection and arrangement of Hindustani airs for harpsichord. Bird's collection, which was the first ever publication of Indian music notated for Western instruments, also features his own Sonata, incorporating original Indian tunes with flute accompaniment (here performed by baroque flautist Yu-Wei Hu).
