{"product_id":"6220604-virtuoso-baroque","title":"Virtuoso Baroque","description":"It is only fitting that Michala and Hannibal have decided to return to their roots as one of the preeminent early music duos, and have selected a truly baroque program - in every sense of the word - for this very special 20th anniversary album titled Virtuoso Baroque. More than a mere program of showstoppers, they have used their talents to hold up a mirror to our own time and redefine masterworks that will both delight their fans and invite all of us to listen to these astonishing works with new ears.\r\n\r\nThe Baroque would usher in many innovations that would resonate through the centuries: the development of functional harmony, the birth of opera, the concerto and the multi-movement sonata, and the cult of the virtuoso. Finally, the Baroque was also an age of true internationalism - Handel, German-born and Italian trained would become one of England's greatest composers; the cosmopolitan Telemann, was an enthusiastic aficionado of Polish and Gypsy folk music; the Italians Corelli and Vivaldi, were famous throughout Europe and even Bach, who while no globetrotter kept thoroughly abreast of the latest international musical developments. All were beneficiaries of this unique pan-European exchange of ideas.\r\n\r\nIn an period rife with such extremes and prodigality it ought not come as a surprise that even the circumstances surrounding the origins of the music presented here is as \"baroque\" as the designation might imply. Disputes regarding the authorship of both the Bach Sonata and the Vitali Chaconne have engaged musicologists throughout the 20th century. Tartini's Faustian fantasy and the deft forgery of the ambitious Chédeville all speak to an age as colorful and media savvy as our own. Only the works of Corelli, Telemann and Handel have come down to us without controversy.\r\n\r\nThis album was r\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eecorded with generous support from Dansk Solist Forbund, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003eSolistforeningen af 1921 and Henrik Eckholdt.\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eMichala Petri - Recorder \u0026amp; Archlute\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLars Hannibal - Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n ","brand":"OUR Recordings","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594830148,"sku":"6220604-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594862916,"sku":"6220604-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594895684,"sku":"6220604-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594928452,"sku":"6220604-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594961220,"sku":"6220604-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739594993988,"sku":"6220604-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57339117797700,"sku":"6220604-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/6220604.jpg?v=1778487108","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/6220604-virtuoso-baroque","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
