A debut Linn recording from the expert Irish Baroque Orchestra features a dazzling array of concertos for ‘bizarre’ instrumental combinations (flute d’amore, oboe d’amore and viola d’amore anyone?). The album is a showcase for the exceptional talent within the ranks of the orchestra, and casts incandescent light on extraordinary compositions by Vivaldi (of course), Telemann, Fasch, Graupner and Heinichen.

‘…virtuosic razzle-dazzle…deliciously alert, spirited, and free from affectation, its clarity is beautifully matched by the recording. No wonder Irish eyes are smiling!.’ –BBC Music Magazine

‘The music is always ear-catching and the captivating performances (and the bright recording) abound with verve and energy…’ –Early Music Review

‘The bracing immediacy of baroque oboes and bassoon feature in works by Fasch, Telemann and Heinichen as well as Graupner, and deliciously nasal cellos in a double concerto by Vivaldi.’ –The Irish Times
