Acclaimed for its expressive and elegant interpretations, earning praise for “spectacular virtuosity” (Tom Strini Blog) and “tremendous ensemble sense” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,) Pallade Musica Ensemble presents a program of the German Baroque from Buxtehude to Biber to Erlebach, Bach, and Schieferlein. This recital was recorded live in concert in Montreal, Canada’s Notre-Dame-de Bon-Secours Chapel as part of the Montreal “Harpsichord in Concert” Series.
