Denkt man an die Musik des Barock, fallen einem als erstes Namen wie Monteverdi, Vivaldi und Bach ein. Eine Musik, pompös und lebenslustig. Schaut man hingegen auf die Englische Musik dieser Zeit, findet man einen sehr beschaulichen, fast miditativen Stiel vor. Dies verdichtet sich vor allem in der Harfenmusik am englischen Hof. Lawrence-King interpretiert diese Musik mit der nötigen Andacht und vergisst dabei weder die melancholischen Farben der keltischen Ursprünge, noch die Festliche Stimmung eines barocken Hofes.

Pedro Memelsdorff is probably the most poetic and elegant recorder player of the whole world. His playing is absolutely AMAZING: beautiful, creative, virtuoso & stunning. Andreas Staier (harpsichord) is impecable and amazing too. The music of "Delight in Disorder" is absolutely beautiful, and includes 17th century English tunes, marches, ayres, chaconnes, fantazies, tocattas & grounds, beautifully arranged and with many variations with extremely virtuoso diminutions. Pedro Memelsdorff creates true poetry with his recorders. Andreas Staier plays with inspiration and power. An explosive duo of virtuoso musicians.

The violinist Chiara Zanisi works with the finest early music ensembles, notably the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra under Ton Koopman, with whom she has just finished a long tour performing the Six Brandenburg Concertos. She now devotes her first solo recording to Johann Sebastian Bach’s Six Sonatas for Harpsichord and Violin. Alongside her is Giulia Nuti, among the most brilliant harpsichordists and scholars in Italy, whose solo CD Les Sauvages: Harpsichords in pre-Revolutionary Paris (DHM) won a Diapason d’Or, among other awards. The kernel from which this project grew is their strongly shared idea that, in addition to great stylistic richness and invention, Bach’s music possesses an aura of magic and an almost divine form.

Established in 1666, the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna was one of the most influential music schools in Italy, and after four and a half centuries, its membership has included some of the greatest Italian composers and musicians. This 2017 Deutsche Harmonia Mundi release by Julia Schröder and the Kammerorchester Basel presents music from the academy's archives, much of which hasn't been performed since the Baroque era. The names of Giuseppe Torelli, Lorenzo Gaetano Zavateri, and Giuseppe Matteo Alberti may be familiar to dedicated classical listeners, though even they may not recognize Giovanni Paolo Colonna, Giacomo Antonio Perti, or Girolami Nicolò Laurenti, even though the style of their works is wholly familiar and appealing.

The recordings are typical DHM with superb clarity and dynamic range. The mastering to digital is excellent, and the booklet accompanying the series, while brief, is informative. The only unifying these here is baroque Italian composers, but it's extremely easy to fill a collection ten times this size with material from that category. What we end up with in these ten discs is a lovely mix of known and unknown, each pleasant to listen to and discover, and there's no listener fatigue at all working through these discs.

This 68-minute program–a compilation of recordings made by Jordi Savall, Montserrat Figueras & Co. during the years 1976 and 2008 (including several selections originally released on dhm and Virgin Classics)–proved one of those purely pleasurable, effortlessly rewarding listening sessions that only rarely come along. We don't often review compilations drawn from multiple recordings made in different venues and over many years–they're so often programmatically disjointed and sonically varied; but in this case it doesn't matter. The music is compatible stylistically and these performers are so consistent in the quality and care and vitality of their performances that, well, what's 30 years or so?
