In this hour, a new special CD with early music is featured.
This time, the CD London Love, with baroque music from London, by Ensemble Rossignol.
London Love, the recently released CD by Ensemble Rossignol (Alice Gort-Switynk, recorder and Elly van Munster, theorbe) carries a subtitle: Masters in the shade of Handel.
Foreign composers like Jean-Baptiste Loeillet and Franscesco Geminiani settled in London for varied amount of times in the hopes of making a name for themselves, but remained in the shadow of Handel.
Alternated with modern recorder solos by Axell D. Ruoff, this CD features recorder sonatas by Loeillet, Handel, Babell, an aria (on recorder and theorbe) by Geminiani and a prelude by Bach.
