About the album

“This curious conglomeration of concertos is a celebration of contrasts”. Thus begins Kah-Ming Ng's introduction to this collection of works from the 18th century. Although none of the composers featured may be familiar, each work has been picked for it's fine technical skill and illuminating sound, taking inspiration from the 18th century definition of 'curious'' as being 'rare, excellent and fine'. Includes works by Paradis, Reichenauer, Berlin, Pepusch, Hertel, Croft and Baldassari.

Charivari Agréable have established themselves as one of the UKs leading early music ensembles – in 2010 they collaborated with The King's Singers on an album of Pachelbel's Vespers, currently their best-selling album on Signum, after it featured heavily on BBC Radio 3.

“For those who know Pachelbel only through the Canon, this disc will be revelatory ... Each piece is beautifully served by the ensemble.”
The Sunday Times

Verfijnde en contrastrijke concerto’s uit de 18e eeuw
‘Deze interessante opeenstapeling van concerto’s is een feest der contrasten’, luidt het begin van de introductie door Kah-Ming Ng voor dit album. Elk werk is uitgekozen vanwege zijn fijne technische vaardigheid en lichte klank, waarbij inspiratie is gehaald van de 18e eeuwse definitie van ‘interessant’, dat wordt omschreven als ‘zeldzaam, uitstekend en verfijnd’. Het album bevat werken van Paradis, Reichenauer, Berlin, Pepusch, Hertel, Croft en Baldassari.

Charivari Agréable heeft voor zichzelf een reputatie gevestigd als één van de belangrijkste vroegere muziekensembles van Groot-Brittannië. In 2010 werkten ze samen met The King’s Singers aan een album met Pachelbels Vesper.
