About
290 years after Count Golovin’s feast, as Dan Laurin and his colleagues in Höör Barock recorded the complete work, their approach was a different one. Making use of a total of 18 different instruments – from sopranino recorder and oboe da caccia to bassoon, strings and baroque guitar – and featuring highly imaginative continuo playing from Anna Paradiso at the harpsichord, their performance sounds as full and varied as one might wish for, without any added parts. Laurin’s performing version also follows the order of Roman’s score, creating a number of smaller suites out of this greater whole that a wider audience now can enjoy for the very first time.

There’s no point in making great claims for the pieces themselves, most of which are under three minutes…If you want some baroque entertainment while throwing a dinner party, or perhaps driving in your car, they could be just the thing, especially as the performances are so well executed, stylish and sunny.

A delightful collection of Baroque dance music supremely well performed.
