Adoration by the Pandolfis Consort spans a century of Baroque music history, from Monteverdi to J. S. Bach. Despite the stylistic developments that took place over this period there are still many aspects that these works have in common: the calm steps taken by the basso ostinato, the delicate, polyphonic weaving of the instruments and the melancholic, touchingly clear vocal part. Period instruments and intense study of historical performance practices makes for an album of exciting soundscapes. Besides the Monteverdi and Bach, the arias, madrigals, motets and instrumental sonatas on the programme were written by lesser known composers from Italy, Germany/Austria and Poland including Giovanni Felice Sances, Giovanni Battista Bononcini and Francesco Cavalli. The ensemble is joined by countertenor Nicholas Spanos on several pieces.
