Album Description
n 1762, John Christian Bach was appointed Music Master to England's Queen Charlotte Sophia, wife of "Mad" King George III. With a few close musical friends, the "London Bach" formed an ensemble to entertain Her Majesty in her private chambers - The Queen's Chamber Band . In this spirit of intimate, personal performance Elaine Comparone, "a harpsichordist with few equals" (The New York Times), has successfully recreated The Queen's Chamber Band with musical friends Marshall Coid, countertenor, Daniel Waitzman, flutes, Marsha Heller, oboe, Robert Zubrycki and Lori Miller, violins, Yari Bond, cello and Jerry Willard, lute and baroque guitar. The Queen's Chamber Band, in its modern incarnation, performs a superbly chosen, intimate program that combines breathtaking virtuosity, profound historical perspective and expertise and extraordinary musical sensitivity.
