Ensemble Altera Pars – Les Barbares Galantes (2021) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

The musical life in the late 18th century’s Russian metropolises still needs to be researched more extensively: With this recording, the musicians of the Altera Pars ensemble impressively demonstrate what masterpieces are waiting for their discovery. This album of works by George, Kerzelli, Facius and Haydn includes world premiere recordings.

The international ensemble “Altera Pars” (in English: Other Side) specialises in the performance of baroque and classical music. The musicians are leading soloists of European orchestras and play using period instruments. This allows for a variation of the line-up from 3 to 9 people and opens up a rich chamber repertoire from the 18th to the early 19th century. In the last four years, the ensemble initiated a much-praised series of concerts in the Oldenburg Palace.

Recorded in the beautiful acoustics of the Sendesaal Bremen.
