Ars Antiqua Austria
Georg Muffat, Composer
Georg Muffat paid tribute to the French ouverture-suite in his two collections which he called Florilegium Primum (1695) and Florilegium Secundum (1698). Ars Antiqua Austria here plays the first of these. Its seven suites, whose five-strand string texture reflects seventeenth-century French practice, have fanciful Latin subtitles, metaphorical rather than depictive. Lively performances with some imaginative touches.'
