This new release follows the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra’s acclaimed Handel Op.6 Concerti Grossi recording (ABC4763436) which was Editor’s Choice in the Gramophone and Disc of the Month in Classic FM Magazine. Here, ignoring tradition, Paul Dyer takes music from the 16th and 17th centuries and improvises: the orchestra mixing styles, bouncing ideas off each other to create a new sound world.

“In addition to playing with a fabulous sense of joie de vivre, the Australian Brandenburg players demonstrate a chameleon-like ability to take on or subtly inject different musical styles into their Baroque starting-points....'crossover' Baroque performed with freshness, skill and charisma by real classical pros.”
