Andreas Rütschlin & Süddeutsche Camerata - Perlen des Barocks
After 1600, nothing was as it was: At the latest, the groundbreaking discoveries of Galileo greatly shook the worldview of the time, and at the beginning of the century, the Thirty Years' War raged across Europe. In contrast, the royal and princely houses responded with Baroque, marked by an insatiable drive for joy in life and meaning – also in music. For the first time, purely instrumental music found its way onto the stages of Europe with its rich polyphony and lavish embellishments. Bach, Handel, Purcell, and Vivaldi are the most famous representatives of this era. The Süddeutsche Camerata, with Andreas Rütschlin as soloist, has also rediscovered works by Joseph Nicolas-Pancrace Royer, a composer celebrated at the court of Louis XV, and includes them among the better-known pearls of Baroque music.
