This new two-disc album contains sonatas from the only surviving manuscript of Aldebrando Subissati, the Italian Kapellmeister of Polish king Jan Kazimierz.

This is a collection of twenty compositions with a rather unusual structure, since most of them consist of two movements, which was not a common practice in the Baroque era. The leading instrument is the violin, accompanied by either theorbo with positive organ or viola da gamba with harpsichord.

Due to the sparse use of musical notation, on the album we hear mainly free, virtuoso interpretations; in some places the composer even suggests the performer to continue the piece according to his or her own fantasy. The performers also had to resolve the harmonic dissonances between the solo part and the basso continuo, since the sonatas come from a period when the majorminor tonality was not fully formed yet.

With finesse and a fair amount of personal invention, the artists shape a new face of a forgotten composer.
