The Goldberg Baroque Ensemble, based in Gdańsk and consisting of international musicians performing on accurate historical instruments, specialises in the Late Baroque and Early Classical repertoire of the Baltic region, every year bringing to light more hidden gems from this high-quality musical universe. The Ensemble’s work is reflected in large-scale projects and numerous audio and video recordings, including 14 award-nominated CD for the Dux, Sarton and MDG labels.
This programme features two composers – both of whom, coincidentally, are also appreciated violonists – who were active in the Polish-Lithuanian geographical space: Wojciech Dankowski (c.1760–c.1814), a monastery musician whose works were known in all the major Polish centres of the time; and Jan Piotr Habermann (before 1720–after 1762), who worked in the Jesuit musical school of Kraków. Through this programme, the Goldberg Ensemble offers us a snapshot of a musical world that is nowadays little-known, but one that in its time was a very popular sound within the walls of our churches and on stages.
