FILAMENT: ALCHEMY OF ANOTHER
BRIDGE 9603


$ 16.99

Buxtehude’s Opus 1 sits at a stylistic and formal crossroads, interweaving some of the most refined counterpoint of the 17th century with a sense of boundlessness in time and texture, creating a music in which order and fantasy coexist in perfectly imperfect balance. Composing at the dawn of the 18th century, Buxtehude demonstrates a fidelity to the caprices of earlier 17th-century works while also taking up the challenges of the more extended and developed ensemble writing then emerging in the works of Corelli and his 18th-century successors. FILAMENT comprises a core trio of violin, viola da gamba, and keyboards. FILAMENT'S mission is to be the bright connective thread — that eponymous filament — linking the world of its audience with that of its repertoire.
