Ensemble Wunderkammer - Chamber Music

Facts In Baroque works, everything had it's meaning: The shapes and proportions of musical works often did not come about by chance, but were based on symbolically charged numbers - whether from geometry, mythology or architecture. Bach was a great friend of this numerical symbolism, and his colleagues Barriere, Forqueray and Couperin also often had hidden extra-musical interpretive levels. This new release from Wunderkammer explores these composers and the symbolism they tucked into their compositions. Wunderkammer is an ensemble founded by Sarah Perl, Mira Lange, Martin Seemann and Peter Uehling in Berlin. With infinite curiosity and the building blocks of inspiration, knowledge, and affection, Wunderkammer sets out to further explore the music of the baroque and thus preserve it for us all. With their instruments harpsichord/organ, cello, and viola da gamba, they form a stable basis for bringing the music of the 17th and 18th centuries to chamber music.
