Party like it’s 1699
Gut Instinct is four ‘off duty’ colleagues from the Academy of Ancient Music and the Gabrieli Consort, presenting exciting music you may not have heard before – trio sonatas by Pachelbel, Biber, Buxtehude, Stradella, Bertali & Schmelzer, well-known composers and those who were stars in their day and deserve a wider hearing.
Here are pieces in the “stylus fantasticus” or fantastic style, which flourished in Germany, Austria, Bohemia and Italy in the late 17th century. The style featured technical virtuosity, surprise, invention and mind-bending new sounds, including scordatura, alternative tunings that went beyond what was possible on the violin.
