The ensemble returns to Capitol Early Music with this unique collection of pieces which can perhaps only be comparedto Bach’s Musical Offering and Art of Fugue. Ebullient chaconnesbookend the Fantazias’ complex counterpoint and surprising
harmonies. With Rainer Beckmann, Héloïse Degrugillier, Priscilla Herreid and Gwyn Roberts.
