Renaissance Variations - Marais - Bach

This concert takes you from one musical era to another. It starts with demonstrating the power of the rich diminution traditions of the Renaissance, when most of the instruments we now think of as “Baroque” - such as the recorder and viola da gamba - were fully developed. Followed by the apogee of writing for the viola da gamba and the recorder featuring baroque masterpieces by Marin Marais and Johann Sebastian Bach.
