屡获殊荣的巴洛克小提琴家Rachel Podger将1660年后英国艺术的复兴作为她新专辑《T the Muses Restor’d》的灵感来源。以其标题为主题，Rachel和她活泼的Brecon Baroque带着听众踏上了一段迷人的小提琴主导的室内乐之旅，从雅各宾到格鲁吉亚早期的英格兰。从配偶习语的温和亲密到巴洛克时期成熟的器乐技巧，这张专辑揭示了英国器乐及其影响鲜为人知的辉煌。
这首精致而轮廓分明的室内乐庆祝了一个丰富的传统，在这个传统中，小提琴加入了大量的键盘、木琴、中提琴和大提琴，将这些奏鸣曲、幻想曲、组曲、场地和流行曲调重新融入了当时英国文化生活的主流。Rachel Podger与来自Brecon Baroque的四位音乐家一起表演了Handel、Lawes、Blow、Locke、Purcell、Schop、Jenkins、Baltzar和Jones的作品。
“这部作品提供了一个世纪以来英国音乐生活中令人深感满意的音乐表达万花筒。”
-Rachel Podger
