Erik Bosgraaf c.s.
Around 1600, the emancipation of instrumental music began. Instruments no longer had to imitate vocal parts, but took the reins themselves. Publishers and contemporaries spoke admiringly of the composers of canzonas, ricercares, and sonatas as the ‘excellent Phoenixes’ of their art. With works by Frescobaldi, Rossi, and Uccellini, recorder star Erik Bosgraaf demonstrates how this ostentatious style steered instrumental music onto a new path – when instruments discovered their own voice.
