Search - Irish Baroque Orchestra :: Flights of Fantasy: Early Italian Chamber Music

Think you know Italian baroque chamber music? Think again! The range, diversity--even wackiness--is remarkable, as illustrated by Flights of Fantasy, an album of acute inventiveness by Avie stalwart Monica Huggett and the chamber soloists of her Irish Baroque Orchestra. Created in 1996, the period-instrument Irish Baroque Orchestra occupies a fundamental place in Ireland's musical landscape. Ten years in, the mantle of artistic director was assumed by Monica Huggett, who has created a decades-long career of critically acclaimed and award-winning recordings including the Billboard chart-topping, Grammy-nominated Bach Orchestral Suites.
