LIVE IN CONCERT
THE MUSIC
What better way to enjoy The Baltimore Consort than live, and in a building perfectly suited to their fabulous catalog of early music. Take a journey back in time with a visit to the First Scots Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, during the Piccolo Spoleto Festival for the location of this live recording. Surrounded by the ghosts of Scottish Presbyterians (whose congregation dates to 1731), the musicians and their audience felt a spiritual connection to the past. They also enjoyed the very lively sequence of tunes that fans of the BC know so well!
The current First Scots building constructed in 1814, offered a perfect acoustic for the lutes, viols, wooden flutes, and other, exotic instruments of early music, as well as a spacious and elegant historical ambiance in which to listen.
The Baltimore Consort are regular performers at Piccolo Spoleto, since it was founded by Steve Rosenberg in 1986, and this live album highlights the 2007 series. Coming together in Charleston allowed the group to play, within a single week, four or five different programs drawn from its repertory of old tunes, polished like tumbled rock through the years, as well as to explore new (old) music for future touring.
Recording with them for the first time is a gifted young soprano, Danielle Svonavec, and re-appearing after a 17-year hiatus is Mindy Rosenfeld, whose flute playing graced their first seven seasons.
Fans will recognize their old favorites from the Baltimore Consorts famed and familiar repertoire!
