Programme Note
A Baroque musical voyage following Burney on his journey: a kaleidoscope of European Baroque music with compositions from each of the countries he visited, some famous, others seldom-heard, interspersed with readings of his original 18th century diary entries. Highlights are the breathtaking virtuosity of Vivaldi's stylus phantasticus chamber concerto La Notte, a new arrangement of the German folk song Kraut und Rüben based on Dietrich Buxtehude's La Capricciosa and Bach's Goldberg variation Quodlibet, a choral version of a Dutch sailors' prayer Den man de quart staande and, last but very much not least, a cantata by Charles Burney himself called The despairing shepherd.
