In Wilhelmine’s Footsteps

Description

The baroque ensemble Camerata Øresund, with its musical director and violinist Peter Spissky, explores the musical world of Wilhelmine of Bayreuth (1709-1758), composer, instrumentalist and patron. The recording brings to light works by Wilhelmine herself and by musicians from her circle, and makes it possible to rediscover pieces long forgotten. Wilhelmine’s enterprising spirit, her intelligence, her talent and her deep love of music and the arts remain a constant source of inspiration. This album is a tribute to the life and legacy of this exceptional woman, revealing the vibrant musical flavors and colors of these concertos, dances and airs.
