Dilettare e Muovere: Virtuoso Instrumental Music of the 16th Century
In Stile Moderno: Nathaniel Cox, cornetto, & John McKean, harpsichord
Repertoire for solo cornetto did not appear until the 1620s, so what did the earlier virtuosi perform? They made their own repertoire by adapting vocal polyphony, popular tunes and dance music, and improvising their own recercare and sonate. The musicians of In Stile Moderno continue this practice with their own adaptations of sixteenth century vocal and dance music, thereby creating something new and modern.

Haydn and the Ladies of London
The Berry Collective: Julia McKenzie, violin; Rebecca Shaw, cello; Barbara Allen Hill, soprano; Sylvia Berry, fortepiano
During his second London season in 1794-95, Haydn wrote some of his most beloved music for three accomplished women. The sonatas and trios written for esteemed pianist and composer Therese Jansen are monumental masterworks that would not exist were it not for her talent. The "Gypsy" trio, written for talented amateur pianist Rebecca Schroeter, is a perennial favorite, and Haydn's settings of poet Anne Hunter's texts reveal a true creative partnership between the two. Ms. Berry performs on a Broadwood fortepiano built in London only a decade after Haydn's sojurn there.
