Between 1640 and 1720 the immigrant German Düben family produced three generations of Capellmeisters at Sweden’s wealthy and fashionable Royal Court, where they amassed a huge collection of printed music and manuscripts. Baroque pioneers Spiritato explore this unique treasure trove, setting the Düben’s rare jewels alongside those of Northern Europe’s best known master musicians. Uncovered by Director Kinga Ujszászi during research for the group’s last album, this is a showcase of daring virtuosity and wonderful invention at the outset of the Baroque period, featuring works by Kirchoff, Thieme, Pachelbel and Bach.
“fascinating to watch… devoutly alone with their music, playing with total commitment and fervour.” Bachtrack
