Inspirational conductor and harpsichord player Richard Egarr is joined by renowned Baroque soloists for a survey of European chamber music from the 1600s.

Italy is represented by Gabrieli鈥檚 venetian church music, intimate settings from Lully and lesser known composers Fontana, Buonamente and Marini experimenting with form and musical effect. We hear from a 21-year-old Purcell, and later, music from Germany and Austria via giant of the keyboard Jacob Froberger and music for strings by Schmelzer.
