About

'Air' sets out to trace a baroque journey. It is the story of four unique composers, three of whom were virtuoso violinists - Falconiero, Matteis and Geminiani from Italy, and Westhoff from Germany. They wandered throughout Europe during the 17th and 18th centuries in search of musical inspiration and cross-pollination, and their music and art of performance intrigued and delighted kings, contemporaries and audiences alike.

This album shows how diverse the music of the baroque era was. 'Air' blends the simplest and, at times, most primitive forms of dance music with the most sophisticated and revolutionary compositions of the day, culminating in a work by J S Bach - the great master, whose title is Hope’s inspiration for this collection which also includes hits like Pachelbel’s Canon and Handel’s Sarabande.
