Ensemble Castor

Description:

Formed in 2010 by internationally renowned musicians, the Austrian early music ensemble Ensemble Castor completes the world premiere recording of Johannes Schenks *Suonate per violino, violone, e cimbalo*, Op. 7, with this second volume. Published in 1699, Op. 7 is a substantial collection that showcases Schenks imagination, interweaving Italian-style sonatas, French-style suites, and the free form of the Stili Fantastici (fantastic styles), and is brimming with experimental spirit and sophisticated compositional techniques. Ensemble Castor vividly revives this forgotten repertoire through a deep understanding of historical performance practice and a refined musical dialogue.Tokyo M-Plus
