This anthology comprises twenty songs five each from Italy France Germany and England. A variety of composers is represented from great masters like Bach Monteverdi and Purcell to many lesser-known composers of the Baroque period - Humfrey Lambert Gilles Kindermann and others. All are presented in new editions with freshly composed realisations of the continuo.
