Music Is the Cure

Do you want to live in perfect health - forever? This album will not only attempt to cure all imaginable ailments - it will even promise you immortality! For, like our historical counterparts, we are all familiar with the ups and downs of sickness, recovery and health, no matter what our age, provenance or status. Perhaps you're asking, "An album that makes me healthy and immortal? How does that work? And wherever did La Ninfea get that idea?" Well, I would like to say that we found the magical musical instructions for creating the philosophers' stone in a 17th-century alchemical codex hidden in a dusty coffer in the attic of a charming little castle, but the truth is that we found dozens of prescriptions for musical cures hidden away in archives and manuscript collections. Six musicians united by one idea, playing 20 instruments in 27 formations, present a baroque kaleidoscope of pieces from the musical medicine chest.
