Matthew HallsAbout
For each new project, HBS invites a particular baroque specialist who has an innovative vision, one who has mastered a distinctive aspect of performance practice, or in some other way has escaped the timeworn pathways of convention. For this release, they worked together with Matthew Halls, renowned harpichordist, organist and conductor and artistic director of The King’s Consort.
Why has Holland Baroque Society devoted its first CD to the relatively unfamiliar Muffat? Well, there are more than enough reasons! Muffat’s music not only offers a wide range of European styles and techniques, but the composer also melds them together into a more elevated totality of style. In addition, this is is not only European music but democratic music: the French five-voiced style guarantees that everyone in the orchestra participates equally. These are brilliantly composed pieces which will fascinate every listener.
“The notes, the strings, the sweet sounds of music give my life a sense of fulfilment, all the more because I mingle the French style with the German and Italian, without inciting a war; but rather holding up a mirror to the longed-for harmony and dear peace which these peoples so greatly desire.” - Georg Muffat
