Leclair - Blow - Matteis - Brescianello by Nova Casa Nova Casa : Leclair - Blow - Matteis - Brescianello.
Baroque chamber music from poland.


A surpassingly warm sound characterizes Nova Casa's performances of baroque chamber music, and here it lights up the compositions of Jean Marie Leclair, Nicola Matteis, Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello, and John Blow. This ensemble plays exclusively on period instruments with deep respect for historical performance style, and the results are elegant, authentic, and inherently charming. We're especially happy for the inclusion of Nicola Matteis' work on this album. Matteis is credited with changing the English taste for violin playing from the conservative French style to a newer, Italian one and Nova Casa's performance of his "Suite in d" perfectly reflects this more expressive approach.
