This oeuvre provides a deeply satisfying kaleidoscope of musical expression over a century of British musical life. - Rachel Podger
Award-winning Baroque violinist Rachel Podger takes the resurgence of the Arts in England post-1660 as the compelling inspiration for her album, The Muses Restor’d. Adopting its title as its theme, Rachel and Brecon Baroque take the listener on a journey of captivating violin-led chamber music from Jacobean to Early Georgian England. Ranging from the gentle intimacy of consort idioms to the full-blown instrumental virtuosity of the evolving Baroque period, this album uncovers little known glories of English instrumental music and its influences.
An imaginative, superbly recorded programme of violin-led ‘British’ chamber music of the Jacobean and early Georgian eras. - The Strad
The album is available to buy here and on all major streaming services.
