This concert focuses on the music of composers Biber, Schmelzer, and Muffat, whose works uniquely combine diverse stylistic movements from the regions surrounding the Alps.
It is also a musical melting pot of 17th-century Central Europe, characterized by the search for innovation and the joy of experimentation.
The crisp string sounds of Carlo Farina's early Baroque program music are complemented by graceful compositions from Georg Muffat's "Armonico Tributo" collection and the "Kremsier" archive.
Various sonatas for trumpet and strings by H. I. F. Biber set luminous accents and alternate with the impetuous virtuosity of A. Corelli.
