Quartet, it conjures seemingly innumerable configurations and
colours from the apparent restrictions of a string ensemble. This concert also

To welcome in the New Year, colourful, mysterious, questing works from
the 17th and early 18th centuries. Telemann wrote two sets
of 'Fantasies', one for violin and
one for flute. Written a decade after his friend, J S Bach's Sonatas and Partitas, these represent a

Peter Sheppard Skærved released the first complete recording of this
extraordinary cycle. With these extraordinary pieces, the last of the Biber's 15
'Mystery Sonatas', dedicated to the Archbishop of Salzburg, and works by the
Bolognese, Vitali,span imitating
trumpets, organs, and earlier dance forms, one of which, although dating from
1666, is in five beats per bar! Together with these, equally powerful miniatures
by living composers, all referring to earlier musics.
