Synopsis

Album Description
At the end of the 17th century, the violin was on the verge of achieving artistic supremacy all over Europe. England remained the last stronghold of the viola, the quintessential aristocratic instrument. It was a musician hailing from Naples who was to introduce London to the delights of the violin and the spice of Italian music, for which the British would become passionate. It is therefore an essential link in the history of English baroque music, which Hélène Schmitt and her partners lead us to discover for the first time, in a recording marked by exuberant joy.
