Ensemble La Beata Olanda: Suites, divisions and folk dances from English Renaissance sources
Suites, divisions and dances for miscellaneus instruments from Matthew Lockes „The Broken Consort“, John Playfords „The English Dancing Master“ and various other English sources of the 17th Century. This recording explores the connection between highly elaborated compositions for the English Court an simple but beautiful dance melodies, which are played mostly improvisationally by the German ensemble ‘La Beata Olanda’, lead by violinist Claudia Hoffmann.
