“Old things are always in good repute, modern
things in disfavour.” - Tacitus
Let us travel
back in time… Let us transport ourselves to Italy of the early Baroque and let
us take a few steps in courtly dances that delighted nobles and amused princes.
Here is a selection of Pavanes, Gagliardes, Ciaccones and Passacaglias played
on instruments old and wondrous with sounds that fall easily on our jaded ears
and manage to captivate our attention and gladden our soul.
