Description:

CD1], a collection of Italian and Swedish Baroque music, and [CD2], consisting of the latest works by up-and-coming Icelandic composers. This unique 2-CD album brings together these contrasting discs. Johann Joachim Agrell, the composer featured on [CD1], was born in Sweden and joined the Kassel court orchestra as a violinist, later becoming court music director in Nuremberg. The world premiere recording of his Violin Concerto is a beautiful work written in the Gallant style. The violin is featured prominently in the concerto, making it a very enjoyable listening experience. All of the works on CD2 were commissioned by the Braque Baroque Band, and were written with Baroque instruments in mind, making this a curious album that, although it is a new work, has something in common with CD1.
