Description
Baroque ensemble Pallade Musica offers a glimpse into the world of German Baroque composer Otto Ernst Gregorius Schieferlein with this album of Trio Sonatas, which also includes works by CPE Bach and Telemann.
Precious little is known of Schieferlein (1704-1787). There are few works that have been attributed to him: a wedding cantata, and three trio sonatas recorded here for the first time, which survived in an 18th-century manuscript copy from the library of the Royal Conservatory of Brussels.
Pallade Musica (Athena's Music) brings together four of Montreal's most promising Early Music performers. The quartet consists of Tanya LaPerrière, Baroque violin, Elinor Frey, Baroque cello, Esteban La Rotta, theorbo, and Mélisande McNabney, harpsichord. Based on dedicated research and continuous exploration, Pallade Musica's performances are acclaimed for their expressive and elegant interpretations, earning praise for their "spectacular virtuosity" (Tom Strini Blog) and "tremendous ensemble sense" (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel).
