The figure of the prodigiously gifted violinist Nicola Matteis, leaving his native Italy for London, looms large in this programme featuring composers active during Restoration England - one of a host of artists and performers from across Europe who flocked there and made a crucial impact on the country's musical culture. The artistry of Alice Julien-Laferrière, joined by the talented members of the ensemble Ground Floor, reveals this eloquent and sumptuous repertoire which sets the path for the great masters of the 18th century.
"The stylish (and openly Europhile) young French ensemble Ground Floor, spearheaded by their own virtuoso, Alice Julien-Laferrière, gives scintillating readings of four highly polished suites, juxtaposing them with music equally well-crafted by fellow émigrés Johann Schop and Gottfried Finger, and native Englishmen Matthew Locke and John Banister."
