Musicians: Gwyn Roberts, flute; Gaia Saetermoe-Howard, oboe; Emlyn Ngai, violine; Stephanie Corwin, bassoon; Richard Stone, lute; Donsok Shin, harpsichord
“Starting in the 16th century adventurous composers began to assemble and write for mixed, or unmatched ensembles of winds and strings. They made — to Elizabethans — a “heavenly noyse.”—Broad Street Review
The individual colors of flute, recorder, oboe, bassoon and violin shine at their most brilliant when set against each other in kaleidoscopic musical gems accompanied by harpsichord and theorbo. The program begins with a concerto by Vivaldi, followed by works of the Western and Eastern European composers who put their own spin on the possibilities of unmatched sounds: Janitsch, Fasch, Zelenka, Boismortier and Telemann. The instruments blend and contrast, call and respond, combine and recombine, stand out as soloists and form a cohesive whole.
