In Italy at the beginning of the 17th century, the Stylus Phantasticus-thought at the time to be "the most liberated method of composition"-broke accepted musical conventions, giving rise to new, more expressive possibilitites. This disc presents a cornucopia of Fantasias, Ricercars, Toccatas and Sonatas by some of the most famous composers of the day, as well as two Romanescas-from which this highly successful ensemble took its name.
"The beauty of the old instruments, so ardently bowed and plucked and played by this 'Romanesca' is overwhelming." CD Review
