Music for the Dresden Court - The Parley of Instruments

The Court of Dresden in the seventeenth century was an epicentre of European cultural life, and an essential destination for talented composers and performers from all over Europe. This programme presents music for woodwind, strings, continuo and solo singer.

“Clare Wilkinson’s voice – full, rich and projected, with a seemingly effortless purity of tone – was one to die for” - Yorkshire Evening Press. The members of The Parley of Instruments focus on bringing their knowledge of historical style and techniques to the music they love, enthusiastically communicating it to other players and the audience. “The ensemble playing is never less than superb” - Early Music Review. “The Parley… play superbly well, their sprung, alert performances bringing the music sparklingly alive. This really is life-enhancing stuff which will lever the cares of the world off your shoulders” - CD Review
