Claves is pleased to present the first recording featuring the young Swiss recorder virtuoso Maurice Steger, a production which is also the first recording in the «Tibor Varga Foundation Hall» in Sion (Switzerland). Steger and his international ensemble (Naoki Kitaya, harpsichord and positive organ / Brian Feehan, theorbo / Lorenz Duftschmid, viola da gamba) perform works by Vivaldi, Sammartini, Fontana, Locke and others on historical instruments.

Their selection of Baroque instrumental music in the Italian style places special emphasis on the relationship between Italy and England. Maurice Steger’s lively, expressive, «modern» interpretations breathe new life into this music. The form of the ground provides the unifying point for traditional elements and the spirit of these contemporary artists.

Claves a le plaisir de présenter le premier enregistrement du jeune musicien suisse Maurice Steger, joueur de flûte à bec; ce disque est la première production réalisée dans le «Tibor Varga Foundation Hall» à Sion. A travers des œuvres de Vivaldi, Sammartini, Fontana, Locke et d’autres, ce musicien et son ensemble international de basse continue (Naoki Kitaya, clavecin et orgue positif / Brian Feehan, théorbe / Lorenz Duftschmid, viole de gambe) se consacrent à la musique instrumentale baroque de style italien où les liens étroits entre l’Italie et l’Angleterre, sur le plan musical, jouent toutefois un rôle prépondérant.

L’interprétation très vivante, expressive et adaptée à l’esprit de notre époque fait revivre les richesses intérieures de cette musique. Dans cette forme très ancienne du ground se combinent les éléments traditionnels avec la sensibilité d’artistes d’aujourd’hui.
