Synopsis

Album Description
This is the third release from the British-based baroque chamber orchestra Fiori Musicali. The group plays on authentic instruments and has a 15-year history performing baroque music in England, often in beautiful historic homes. In its 21st season, Fiori Musicali has a strong presence in central England, a residency at the St. Ceciliatide International Festival of Music in London, and has toured abroad to the Early Music Festival in Madrid. Fiori Musicali offer music appreciation classes, and recently began a pilot project to establish an affiliated youth choir, Fiorosa. The featured artist is well-known recorder virtuoso Pamela Thorby, along with the ensemble?s principal members. They present an elegant program of Baroque chamber concertos from 18th-century Venice. This release provides not so much a programme but rather a wordless aria illustrating a text, just as Vivaldi added poems to his masterpiece The Four Seasons. The solo parts are demanding technically and show dazzling displays of virtuosic writing.
