Baroque-Modern / Anna Urpina

This album allows us to appreciate the versatility of the young performer Anna Urpina, whose goal has been to approach each score from a historically informed perspective. The compositions of c. XVII and XVIII (Castello, Biber, Corelli and Telemann) are recorded with Baroque violin (with gut strings) and bow next to the harpsichord. (IBS Classical)

J.S. Bach: The Well-Tempered Consort III / Phantasm

This is the third and final instalment of the Well-Tempered Consort series. In this program devised by its director Laurence Dreyfus, the viol consort Phantasm continues to shine new light on the fugues from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier interspersed with some of the composer’s most harmonically adventurous experiments from the Clavierübung III. A fitting end to a remarkable journey! (Linn Records)
