Un Orage D'avril - Suites Canon & Songs

• Un
• Pachelbel, J.
• Orage

Though the bass line of a certain celebrated Canon may have made Pachelbel the most frequently heard classical composer in the world, this sparkling program shows he was not just a 'one hit wonder.' It is built around suites for two violins and continuo from a collection called the Musikalische Ergotzung. The title means 'musical delight,' and indeed one cannot but be ravished by the extraordinary sonic hedonism displayed in these works. A few songs written for special occasions add further spice to this delightful recording featuring tenor Hans-Jorg Mammel and the ensemble Gli incogniti led by Amandine Beyer.
