Isn't always love the same and yet constantly new? This could be the motto of the new GENUIN CD by soprano Heidi Maria Taubert. Here she mixes passacaglias and chaconnes from the Baroque era with her own arrangements and compositions by Ercole Nisini, which take up the examples. The infinite variety of the variations on an ostinato bass fits in with themultifaceted poetical play about the joys and sorrows of love. The CD is a delightful journey of discovery featuring works by Monteverdi and Frescobaldi, by Purcell and Krieger: highlyvaluable in terms of repertoire and exquisitely executed by Heidi Maria Taubert and the ensemble Instrumenta musica!
