 This unique audio offering from the newly formed group Ligonier Sinfonia is a treat both historically and musically. Samples from Baroque concerto literature like Bach's Violin and Oboe Concerto in d minor, plus a variety of instrumental works by Telemann, Handel, Vivaldi, and Couperin will delight Baroque fans. These high Baroque pieces feature recorder and harpsichord, organ and strings, flute, oboe, gamba, and harpsichord solo.
The music in this recording is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of the high Baroque – something that would doubtless fill hundreds of recordings. Instead, it is a sampling of the various types of music popular during the rise of European rationalism with its flourishing of the arts. Each composer is a master of his genre and materials. Each sample represents an instrumental style, that reached its zenith in the last 60 years of what is called the late Baroque period, roughly 1680-1740. Enjoy a taste of the popular music from the courts of Weimar, Paris, Venice and London.
