Description:

Bojan Cicic & Illyria Consort! Vivid Christmas Concerto and Pastorale Collection! Boyan Cicic & Illyria Consort present a vivid Christmas! Vivaldi's "Night" and "Restful (Christmas Concerto)" are combined with pastorales and Christmas music by unknown composers! Bojan Cicic, one of the flag-bearers of the new generation of baroque violinists and a rising star of the ancient music world, has been a concertmaster and core member of the Brecon Baroque, Florilegium, Arcangelo, Ancient Chamber Orchestra and EU Baroque Orchestra. The new recording by the Illyria Consort, the period ensemble he founded to explore the hidden music of the 17th and 18th centuries, is a vivid Christmas album, enhanced by Bojan Cicic's brilliant virtuosity. The program incorporates pastorales with their origins in shepherds' music into the tradition of the holiday celebrated in 17th century Catholic Europe, with Vivaldi's works at the beginning and end, and incorporates music by unknown composers and music of unknown authorship preserved in Viennese manuscripts, echoing the joy of rediscovery.The work by German composer Johann Georg Rauch, who served as organist at Strasbourg Cathedral, and the Andante (second movement) of RV.270a, reconstructed by Olivier Houle, a doctor of music and ballet teacher known for discovering Vivaldi operas, are world premiere recordings.
