Baroque Pleasures: Program with Recorder, Harp and Viola da Gamba

Maurice Steger is known for his colourful and complex programmes and so the collaboration with Céline Pasche and Hille Perl and the instrumentation of recorder, harp and viola da gamba seems as unusual as it is natural. The trio presents well-known and rarely heard treasures of the Baroque in new ways, but without sacrificing any of the beloved energy and sensitivity.
