The works that are featured on the present recording were all written during an extremely fertile period in the history of the mandolin. Complex and varied, the Baroque age set out to explore new means of expression and, first and foremost, novel timbres. The inventive inquisitiveness of Baroque musicians took them in the direction of the subtlest of sonorities, and no sound was more subtle than that of the mandolin. This was a time when aesthetic concerns were dominated by research into tone colour and into achieving greater and greater refinement.
