Chamber Works

Seattle Baroque, founded in 1994 by violinist Ingrid Matthews and harpsichordist Byron Schenkman, quickly established itself as one of the most vibrant American early music ensembles. Their goal is to awaken contemporary audiences to the vitality of baroque music through historically informed performance of both familiar and unfamiliar works. Recorded 2011-12, their new Centaur release features a varied selection of sonatas and a lute concerto by Antonio Vivaldi, including some that spotlight individual soloists.
