The noble pride - chamber music of the European Baroque
Iris Lichtinger, baroque recorders | Pavel Serbin, baroque cello & viola da gamba | Axel Wolf, lute & theorbo
"We must always strive for greatness with our minds and we should also always possess a certain noble pride and be noble-minded...(...) When a man is described as proud, it means that his mind is set on higher things, especially fame, and that he has a strong sense of honor. When describing women, this word sometimes implies a charming severity, a pride that is pleasing." According to César Pierre Richelet (1626 - 1698), who was the editor of the first dictionary in the French language. The programme offers a colourful spectrum of high baroque chamber music and is European in the best sense of the word with works of French, English, Italian and German provenance: in addition to the clear local demarcation, the "mixed taste", as propagated by Francois Couperin in his new concertos created after the Concerts royaux (1722), the "nouveaux concerts: Les gouts réunis" (1724), from which the title of a sarabande quoted above is taken.
