About

“What I have done with this recording is to put three instrumental trio sonatas all in different styles in with these wonderful intimate chamber vocal works. Each group of three Deutsche arias is followed by an instrumental work, one in the traditional sonata da chiesa style, one in the more sonata da camera style (with dance movements) and one in the Italian Concerto style.” – Ashley Solomon, director

Regular performances in some of the world’s most prestigious venues have confirmed Florilegium’s status as one of Britain’s most outstanding period instrument ensembles. Since their formation in 1991 they have established a reputation for stylish and exciting interpretations, from intimate chamber works to large-scale orchestral and choral repertoire. Florilegium regularly collaborate with some of the world’s finest singers in programmes from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, now living in London UK, Gillian Keith has emerged as one of the leading lyric sopranos of the 21st century. Her superb voice and musicianship are at home both on the opera stage and on the concert platform‚ making her one of the most stylish and versatile artists of her generation.
