Clara Guldberg Ravn, Néstor Fabián Cortés Garzón, Bremer Barockorchester - And every little Star (2024) [Hi-Res]

Evergreens: Naples and Venice were two of the most important centers for music in Italy in the 17th and 18th centuries. On this new recording of baroque recorder concertos from Italy, the Bremen Baroque Orchestra and Clara Guldberg Ravn once again demonstrate their great joy of playing and the highest quality of baroque performance practice. In addition to well-known works by Antonio Vivaldi and the recorder evergreen by Giuseppe Sammartini, the young Danish recorder player has also ventured into rather unknown baroque works by the Neapolitan Nicola Fiorenza and the Swede Johan Helmich Roman.

“So, to summarize: all the concertos presented on this album are worth discovering in their own right, both in terms of listening and information. They emanate dance-like lightness and melancholy contemplation, and thus combine everything for which lovers and connoisseurs of baroque music should a priori love and get to know them. And the Bremen Baroque Orchestra under the direction of its co-founder Néstor Fabián Cortéz Garzón proves to be a highly congenial and entertaining accompaniment to one of the most virtuoso flautists currently in existence.” (kultura-extra.de)
