Chamber Music & Recitals

The poems and songs of the Gruuthuse Manuscript originated in Bruges around 1400, and the collection is named after the later owner, Lodewijk van Gruuthuse. The songs form the most well-known part of the collection: love songs, bawdy songs and drinking...

'The playing is of a high order,' observed Early Music World when reviewing Labirinti Armonici's debut on Brilliant Classics (BC95718), with the Op.2 Sonatas of Francesco Antonio Bonporti: 'the overall effect is of a highly professional group at home...

The place of Domenico Scarlatti in the history of 18th century music is certainly exceptional. This exquisite and imaginative group of works is included in the fourteenth volume of Scarlatti's manuscript sonatas preserved in the Marciana Library in...

The pieces, recorded here, form merely the tip of a fascinating iceberg. When medievist/archivist Andr? Nieuwlaat initially shared his discoveries (much more Dowland lute music) with lutenist Mike Fentross two years ago, he realized immediately their...

The pieces on the present album - in instrumentations ranging from duo violin/piano to arrangements for solo instruments and orchestra - cover a broad spectrum of Piazzolla's oeuvre. Of particular importance to violinist Rudens Turku is the piece Le...

The pieces featured on the present album are staples of Belfiato Quintet's modern repertoire and are, above all, music close to their heart. Each of them occupies a special position in the ensemble's history. Carl Nielsen's Wind Quintet is the very first...
