Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)
Harpsichordist: Trevor Pinnock
Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Germany in 1685 and is considered one of the greatest composers of all time. Having a prestigious musical lineage, Young Bach was taught how to play the violin by his father, Johann Ambrosius, who worked as a town musician (Biography.com Editors, 2020). Sadly, Bach became an orphan at the age of 10 when both his mother and father died (Biography.com Editors, 2020). He was taken in by his older brother Johann Christoff, a church organist (Biography.com Editors, 2020). Later in life, Bach's talent awarded him many opportunity's to work for royalty; the post of organist in the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst in Weimar where composed many church cantatas and some of his finest pieces for the organ, and a position with Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen in 1717 (Biography.com Editors, 2020). However, Prince Leopold dissolved his orchestra in 1723, leading Bach to procure a position as organist and teacher of St. Thomas Church (Biography.com Editors, 2020). By 1740, Bach was struggling with poor eyesight, but continued to work despite his condition (Biography.com Editors, 2020). He even traveled and performed, visiting Frederick the Great, the king of Prussia in 1747 (Biography.com Editors, 2020). In 1750, Bach underwent surgery to fix his eyesight, but the operation was a failure, leaving him completely blind (Biography.com, 2020). He suffered a stroke later that year and died in Leipzig on July 28, 1750 (Biography.com Editors, 2020).

Composer: Luigi Boccherini (1743-1805)
Orchestra: Accademia I Filarmonici
Luigi Boccherini, in full Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini, was an Italian composer and virtuoso cellist from the 18th century (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2021). He was mainly a composer of chamber music, although his symphonies and concerti have considerable merit (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2021). Boccherini's compositions were first published when he was 17 years of age. After the death of his father in 1766, Boccherini left for Paris where several of his compositions were published by Grangé, Venier, and Chevardière (The Editors of Encyclopaedia of Britannica, 2021). Supposedly, a Spanish ambassador to Paris convinced Boccherini to move to Madrid, likely sometime between 1768 to 1769, where he joined the royal court of Charles the III (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2021). Sadly, Boccherini's last few years were ridden with personal loss: in 1802 his two daughters passed away, and in 1804 his second wide and third daughter died (The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2021). This likely exasperated Boccherini's already poor health and led to his death in 1805. Luigi Boccherini was a brilliant composer who's major significance and influence to music is now largely overlooked.

Composer: Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783)
Harpsichordist: Pieter-Jan Belder
Father Antonio Soler was a priest and monk of the Roman Catholic church, and a renown Organist and Harpsichordist in the late 18th century Spain (Lundgren, n.d.). Soler was an avid learner; he may even have studied under Domenico Scarlatti (Lundgren, n.d.). I find that Father Antonio Soler's harpsichord solos are greatly underrated: possibly being some of the finest pieces composed for the instrument. This is one of my favorite pieces from Padre Soler. I hope that you enjoy this recording as much as I do.

Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor is one of the most famous pieces of Baroque organ music ever written - with a particularly iconic opening
Bach probably composed the Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, between 1703-7, but no one is sure of the exact date. It's important to remember the BWV catalogue number as well - there are actually three pieces of organ music written by Bach with the same name! One of these Toccata and Fugue sets, BWV 538, is even in D minor, but it's known as the 'Dorian', which distinguishes it from Bach's more famous organ music.
Many people will be familiar with its three dramatic opening flourishes followed by the low, growling pedal note underneath a huge, fortissimo rolling chord. The Toccata is rhapsodic – like an improvisation – and has many features that are unusual for an organ work of its time. The Fugue, too, has elements that are uncharacteristic of Bach.
In fact, there are strong reasons to suggest that Bach’s celebrated Toccata and Fugue was not originally in D minor, nor written for the organ. It might have been written for violin or harpsichord, and some scholars believe it's too crude a piece to have been written by Bach at all! The earliest score contains many un-Bach-like dynamics and markings, in a copy made by Johann Ringk (1717-78), who was a student of one of Bach’s students. No original manuscript survives, so perhaps we'll never clear up the mystery.

Composer: Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757)
Harpsichordist: Pieter-Jan Belder
Giuseppe Domenico Scarlatti was an Italian Composer that is highly regarded for his 555 keyboard sonatas, which greatly expanded the technical and musical possibilities of the harpsichord (Kirkpatrick, 2020). The son of Alessandro Scarlatti, the renowned Neapolitan opera composer, Domenico Scarlatti took over his father's position in Rome as musical director and composer to queen Maria Casimira of Poland (Kirkpatrick, 2020). In 1719 Scarlatti left Rome and travelled to Lisban, where he became musical director to King John V of Portugal, as well as music master to the King's younger brother and to Princess Maria Barbara de Braganca, who became his patroness and for whom most Scarlatti's keyboard sonatas were later written (Kirkpatrick, 2020). When his pupil Maria Barbara married the Spanish Crown prince in 1728, Scarlatti followed the royal pair to Spain, where he was to spend his remaining years (Kirkpatrick, 2020). Domenico Scarlatti's work has revealed one of the most original and complex styles of the 18th century.

Composer: Francesco Venturini (c.1675-1745)
Concerto: No.6 in A major (1715-45)
Engagement: Venturini as Violinist in the court chapel of Electorate of Hanover
Manuscript Source: Uppsala Universitetsbiblioteket, Sweden
00:00 I. Adagio. Allegro
03:04 II. Adagio
05:02 III. Allegro
The manuscript of the "Concerto à 6" in the violin-friendly key of A major for two solo violins, high strings and basso continuo is today housed in the Uppsala University Library. Its formal conception, featuring a slow-fast-slow-fast movement sequence, corresponds to the Italian church sonata. The two solo violins are at the centre of the composition: in the allegro sections they are given ample opportunity to show off virtuoso runs.
In his concertos for various instruments, Venturini not only contributed to the “mixed taste” by combining French and Italian stylistic elements, but also repeatedly focused on individual instruments in solo passages. Thanks to the new performing editions, carefully prepared by the cellist Christoph Harer who went back to original contemporary sources, la festa musicale brings the composer’s ideas to life. With subtly differentiated variations in instrumentation the musicians achieve impressive musical and acoustic effects, emphasizing Venturini’s compositional skill, his individuality as well as the joie de vivre of his music.
Venturini was born in Brussels around 1675. He is first documented in Hanover, where he got married on 13 January 1697. As an instrumentalist he must have been formidably talented: the Hanoverian court orchestra was, at that time, one of the cultural hotspots in Europe and in 1698, Venturini was engaged as a violinist in the court chapel orchestra.
During the reign of Ernst August, the focus was on the annual opera productions. After his death, Georg Ludwig, his son and heir who was to ascend the English throne as George I in 1714 through the “Act of Settlement”, extended the court orchestra to 17 musicians and concentrated on instrumental music. It was probably as part of this expansion that Venturini was engaged as Kapellmeister, head of the court orchestra, in Hanover.

Agrell wrote occasional vocal works and numerous symphonies, harpsichord concertos and sonatas; he was a fluent composer in the north German galant style of the time (Wikipedia, n.d.). This is a remarkable flute concerto. A warning though: the I Allegro can give one earworm. I hope you enjoy it!

Composer: Ferdinando Gasparo Turrini (1749-1812)
Harpsichordist: Ero Maria Barbero
Ferdinando Gasparo Turrini da Salò, also known as "Blind Bertoni" or "Little Bertoni", because he had been a pupil of his uncle Ferdinando Bertoni, was born in 1749 in Salò in Northern Italy. He began his career as Harpsichordist for a Venetian theatre. Tragically, he lost his eyesight at the early age of 23 in 1772, after which he was taken on as organist for the church of Saint Justine in Padua. He remained there until in the invasion of Padua by Napoleon's Armies in 1800, when he moved to Brescia, where he died in 1812 (Barbero, 1997, p. 5).

Composer: Padre Antonio Soler (1729-1783)
Harpsichordist: Pieter-Jan Belder
Father Antonio Soler was a priest and monk of the Roman Catholic church, and a renown Organist and Harpsichordist in the late 18th century Spain (Lundgren, n.d.). Soler was an avid learner; he may even have studied under Domenico Scarlatti (Lundgren, n.d.). I find that Father Antonio Soler's harpsichord solos are greatly underrated: possibly being some of the finest pieces composed for the instrument. This is the most well-known piece by Father Soler. I would argue that Pieter-Jan Belder preforms one of the best interpretations of Sonata No.90. I hope you enjoy this recording.

"The real meaning of persona is a mask, such as actors were accustomed to wear on the ancient stage; and it is quite true that no one shows himself as he is, but wears his mask and plays his part. Indeed, the whole of our social arrangements may be likened to a perpetual comedy; and this is why a man who is worth anything finds society so insipid, while a blockhead is quite at home in it."

A 2013 BBC Arts Documentary hosted by Helen Rosslyn as part of BBC Secret Knowledge series.
One of the most innovative artists of the 17th century, printmaker and draftsman Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione was also a violent, impetuous man, repeatedly in court for assault and even accused of murder.
His turbulent life often overshadowed his artistic brilliance, and Castiglione struggled to achieve recognition in his own lifetime. Yet his pioneering printmaking techniques would influence generations of later artists including Degas and Picasso and with the UK's first major exhibition of his work at the Queen's Gallery in Buckingham Palace, art historian Helen Rosslyn makes the case for Castiglione to be seen as one of the great artists of the Baroque.
Featuring exclusive access to Castiglione's original prints and drawings in the library at Windsor Castle, uncovering documents that throw new light on his troubled personality and revealing fascinating insights into his ground-breaking printmaking methods, Helen tells the story of one of the forgotten geniuses of art history.

When we think of "baroque dance", we often think of enormous wigs and frilly dresses, a rond de jambe and graceful entrechats. This is of course true, to a certain extent: as the Belle Danse developed during the 17th century, it was a dance reserved for the nobility and gentlemen, wearing their finest clothes.
However, under the reign of Louis XIV, the baroque dance was not only a source of entertainment or a simple pass-time. Quite the contrary, it was a veritable art-form, with a social and political impact. In 17th century France, dance was an integral part of a gentleman's education. The nobility learned to read and to write, to handle weapons, and to dance. But what did baroque dance actually look like? "This dance is built upon the premise that if you can walk, you can dance", explains choreographer Béatrice Massin, advisor to director Gérard Corbiau for the film Le Roi Danse (2000).
"Everything is built from very simple elements since the ball dances were necessarily accessible to all, nobody was a professional at this time. The baroque body was a round one, fully capable of taking advantage of the space. A body that takes pleasure both in volume but also in height. On every strong beat, for example, the body rises. There is a particular way of using the arms since the shoulders were not free when wearing court costumes. In the baroque dance, the ports de bras (name of a general arm movement in dance and ballet) thus remains oriented towards the pelvis and the lower part of the body, whilst the bust stretches upward, as if to assert grandeur and ease. As for the steps, the premises of classical dance with entrechats, chassés, and pas de bourrée... All variants that were built from a walking step."

Arcangelo Corelli (/kəˈrɛli/,[1][2] also UK: /kɒˈ-/,[3] US: /kɔːˈ-, koʊˈ-/,[3][4] Italian: [arˈkandʒelo koˈrɛlli]; 17 February 1653 – 8 January 1713)[5] was an Italian violinist and composer of the Baroque era. His music was key in the development of the modern genres of sonata and concerto, in establishing the preeminence of the violin, and as the first coalescing of modern tonality and functional harmony.
La Folía (Spanish), or Follies of Spain (English), also known as folies d'Espagne (French), Follia (Italian), and Folia (Portuguese), is one of the oldest remembered[citation needed] European musical themes, or primary material, generally melodic, of a composition, on record. The theme exists in two versions, referred to as early and late folias, the earlier being faster.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folia
