By the time Bach wrote his great passions, the form had existed for three centuries. The finest composers of the Renaissance and early Baroque composed Passion settings that are as varied as they are emotionally stunning. Composers explore every available musical means toward expression: chant, polyphony, Italianate madrigalism, recitative, chorale, fantastic harmony, and detailed text painting. This program explores some of the most outstanding moments from the history of the Passion…before Bach.

    11:19 If I am not mistaken, I believe the trill and the preceding three grace notes should be to an Eb rather than an E natural? Wonderful recording though! I have thoroughly enjoyed what I have heard so far!

    Inspirational design of bowings and fingerings.The downward shiftings without holding tight the violin are really stunning. Great approach of historically informed practice on such a not-historical received repertoire. Thank you so much Mr. Scheid!

    A sincere appreciation to Caroline, Kevin and Elliot for a splendid, authentic and sublime all French Baroque Music Concert. The sweet, gentle, beautiful and interesting music of Marais in contrast to Forqueray’s dramatic, distinct, and virtuosic style was executed gracefully, elegantly, passionately and precisely by gamba virtuoso Caroline. The intricate details of bowings, fingerings, ornaments, symbols, terms, notes playing….were brilliantly perceived by all three outstanding musicians. Thanks the ‘TRIO’, the hostess and host, GEMS, sponsors, and audience for your loyal support for the early music. Vive viola da gamba.

    Vielen Dank für diese schöne Musik! Ein akustischer Hochgenuss. Optisch leider nicht ganz ungetrübt, da die Augen der Solistin für mich wie halb zugeklebt aussehen ... Aber wenn sie sich selbst so gefällt, ist ja alles gut. Ich gucke lieber zu den Begleitern ...
