Description:

The Baroque music was perfected in Germany, and this album is performed from scores stored in Meiningen, Sonderhausen, Rudolstadt, Weimar, and other locations. All of the works are by composers who were very popular in Germany at the time, and their writing style, which actively incorporated the trendy Italian style, is very appealing. The disc contains a rich variety of concertos and religious works by Fasch, who wrote orchestral works that rivaled Bach's in richness, Hasse, who was renowned as a great opera composer, and Molter, who was a pioneer of wind concertos, all at the height of their Baroque period.
