Ensemble Fiorello is a Czech chamber music group specialising in early music performed on original period instruments, or their copies. Its repertoire includes vocal and instrumental music that was typical in the major cultural centres of Europe during the baroque period, including at the royal courts of France, Italy, Germany, England and Bohemia. Courtly entertainment was also intricately linked with dance, and the ensemble offers several programmes that feature typical dance music of the time, accompanied by baroque dances performed by one of the ensemble's founding members. Their performances aim to transport the audience back through the centuries, realistically evoking the atmosphere of past times.
Nice playing indeed and I love the flowers. Can I ask Helena who made her 'cello? It's a most unusual looking instrument. Likewise Michala's recorder. Thank you.
You might be surprised to know that there is always a seriousness to the Sarabande. Having said that, in Spain the the Sarabande was quite a fast dance and at one time was banned for being such a rude dance! 🙂
Wonderful performance. And the prominent placement of the recorder is adequate: this is indeed more a recorder concerto than a quartet. I wonder, however, where the harpsichord is: i can hear it but not see it.
